I don't belive any work was specifically
done to update the server to be RFC 2821 and 2822 compliant; and I imagine
that wouldn't happen unless we got a requirement to do that.  In fact,
I imagine a requirement that begins: "The SMTP server should support
the following aspects of RFCS 2821 and 2822..." (with business impacts
etc) would be more likely to be accepted than a requirement that simply
says: "The SMTP server should be compliant with RFCs 2821 and 2822".

That being said, are there aspects of
those RFCs that you need supported that our current implementation does
not support?
