Hi Miguel.
I have this from the powers that

systems, at a bare minimum, are required to fulfill the minimal functionality
requirements described in Section 4.5 of RFC 2821, the address-handling
requirements described in Section 5 of RFC 2821, and the problem detection and
handling requirements described in Section 6 of RFC 2821.
The links for those

That's
the short version of the description - I have a long version in word doc format
that I could send to you off list.

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?
