Here's the code from smail 3.1.29 for reading an smtp response. This is
not the latest version of smail, but pretty recent (I think smail 3.2
has been out less than a year):

    while ((c = getc(f)) != '\n' && c != EOF) {
        STR_NEXT(&input, c);
    }
    if (input.p[input.i - 1] == '\r') {
        input.p[input.i - 1] = '\0';
    } else {
        STR_NEXT(&input, '\0');
    }
