Read the relevant RFCs for mail message standards. I'd start with RFC2822 and work forward from there. There are a number of header fields which can legally appear more than once in a message. Most MTAs do not check the message headers in detail. They only deal with the envelope information. So it is easy to generate a technically illegal message. Also note that any header can be folded, although it is typically only the Received: headers which are routinely wrapped for readability. As usual when writing code against a protocol standard, be liberal in what you will accept as valid input. -- Smoot Carl-Mitchell Systems/Network Architect email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cell: +1 602 421 9005 home: +1 480 922 7313 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
