Hmm Well I telneted to port 25 and tried:
RCTP TO: <[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]>
RCTP TO: <[EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
RCTP TO: <[EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]>
RCTP TO: <[EMAIL PROTECTED];[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
RCTP TO: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]>
and All gave me a syntax error or unknown user.
I think ONLY one mailbox per RCTP TO statement is allowed ( which seems
to be inaccordance with the RFC)
Also it gives the RFC821 non compliance message if anything precedes the
<mbox@domain>
statement.
Something like RCPT TO: <mbox@domain> "first last" WILL be accepted but
I have no idea if the data is registered anywhere.
The other odd thing is that while testing I ended giving it a LOT of bad
commands.. and it seems that the replys, positive OR negative got slower
and slower... up to several minutes wait between command replys.
This seems odd... I don't remember for sure but Courier does spawn
children to handle multiple connections at a time right? And default is
what, 10? It occurs to me that if the behavior i'm seeing isn't an
aberration, this could lead to DOS... a REALLY bad, or malicious client
could send many bad commands and repeatedly connect - jamming up the
works indefinitely due to the lengthening reply time.
Any way that aside, the proper way to send to multiple recipients would
be:
RCTP TO: <user1@domain>
RCTP TO: <user2@domain>
RCTP TO: <user3@domain>
RCTP TO: <user4@domain>
Correct?
Thanks,
David.
