there are commercial servers out there that don't follow the basic 
tenets of the RFCs. it's not just the MUA (and in general, MLMs do 
pretty well) -- but one need only look at, oh, First Class, which 
insists on sending errors back to the original poster and ignores 
envelope info (including Errors to), or Lotus, where, god help me, 
someone decided that the "return receipt" should be a system 
configured item by the admin. And compound that with the "never 
upgrade" problem, and it gets even nastier.
