-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, March 12, 2002 1:54 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [IMail Server 7.06] John Tolmachoff [T2002031200JC] Hi John, We are actually following the RFC. Let me explain why we believe this to be the case. In the example you provided below, it shows the "[10.0.0.1]" as an example of acceptable text. This is comparable to our X1. 220 [10.0.0.1] Clueless host service ready As the info that you supplied below states, a receiver may substitute text in the replies but the meaning and action of the code number (220) cannot be altered. We are not altering the meaning and/or action of the 220 code number. In any case, I will forward your message on to our developers as a feature request for consideration in a future version of the product. Thank you for your input.
