RFC = Request For Comment. It's a suggestion submitted to be considered for
new industry standards to be established. The problems everyone is pointing
out is a good example why this "Refuse NULL <> Senders" is an RFC and not an
industry standard. It is up to the writers of the email programs at large to
come up with the solutions to conform to the industry standards and find
solutions to the problems that occur when "NULL <>Senders" are allowed.
Thus, IMail has the option to allow NUL senders..........or not.
Best regards,
Brian
