Their mail server is broken. See <http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5321.txt>, <http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5322.txt> and <http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5598.txt>. >I am sure others are more conversant as to which is right but it >comes down to YAHOO and GMAIL (and others) take the road as its >wrong. IMHO the best approach is to ask some of their customers and users point them to the above RFC's. >I suspect the same with Darren.
