Hi,

org.apache.mailet.MailAddress throws a parse exception proceessing the
following From: address...

<"nlt: Mail Administrator">

My reading of RFC 822 suggests that MailAdress is correct, this is an
invalid From: address.

Firstly, am I correct?

Secondly, assuming MailAddress and I are correct, is it a good idea for
James to strictly enforce the RFC for originator fields?

org.apache.james.core.MailImpl takes a MailAddress as the sender, so a
message with an invalid originator cannot be passed to MailImpl for
processing. Messages, such as the above, may have passed through many other
MTAs before James spits it out, presumably because they aren't so picky
about the originator fields. Perhaps James should take the same attitude and
only be strict on recipient addresses?

Steve
