Hi everybody,
I got this lines in a mail header which qmail-scanner is claiming to be illegal.

I saw that qmail-scanner-queue.pl checks for parantheses in field names. No wonder it
claims the field-names above to have an illegal comment ;-)
BUT:
Is it really illegal to use parantheses in fieldnames ?
rfc 822 says:
---
field = field-name ":" [ field-body ] CRLF
field-name = 1*<any CHAR, excluding CTLs, SPACE, and ":">
---
CTL is defined as
---
( Octal, Decimal.)
CTL = <any ASCII control ; ( 0- 37, 0.- 31.)
character and DEL> ; ( 177, 127.)
---
Char ( has ASCII decimal value 40.
Char ) has ASCII decimal value 41.
So it seems to me, that a field-name like the ones above, claimed to be illegal by
qmail-scanner, are in fact in the range of allowed chars that can be used in a
field-name and therfore not illegal.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks
Chris
