I hear you, and I agree, BUT if you are talking about 8-bit messages, that can be turned off...
Users will be much happier then - Or can you give a more specific example? This is the only annoyance I've experienced - and it's fixable! m/ -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Giovanni Panozzo Sent: Tuesday, March 11, 2003 4:19 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [courier-users] RFC compliance: goodbye to courier MTA After two years of courier MTA/IMAP use in a ISP (1k mailboxes), we learned that being so RFC compliant is only a big cost for us, in terms of helpdesk calls and customer unsatisfaction, so we are truly considering to change again our MTA (not the IMAP/POP3 server). Just one thought.... read RFC 1958, paragraph 3.9 3.9 Be strict when sending and tolerant when receiving. Implementations must follow specifications precisely when sending to the network, and tolerate faulty input from the network. When in doubt, discard faulty input silently, without returning an error message unless this is required by the specification. most of input discarded by courier is certainly faulty, but there is no doubt on how to process it and forward to the right recipient. so courier is not RFC 1958 compliant... I would like to hear some other opinions on this "strict compliance" from other users, especially from ISP.
