Your dump shows it's not 0x20 but 0x00 which is a string terminator
of C, and not 0E0D0A but 2E0D0A which is a message terminator of POP
(and SMTP, NNTP).

 |Delegate strips away all the spaces and sends then only 0E0D0A.
 |The client wait  for 0D0A0E0D0A   as EOF-mark,

The problem is caused because DeleGate uses fgets() and fputs() to
get and put the message on POP.
A simple workaround to escape the problem is encoding '\0' into
0xC0 0x80 (or \300\200, UTF-8 string which represents zero) at
the input, and decoding it at the output.  It can be done like the
enclosed patch (a patch to be applied to DeleGate/9.2.4-pre19).

Cheers,
Yutaka
