No, he is not saying that at all. qmail out-of-the-box will not munge
anything. What that user was asking is clearly a case of user error
and misconfiguration. It has nothing to do with any RFCs whatsoever.
There is nothing to protect the user from telling qmail to do the Wrong
Thing(tm), just like there is nothing stopping the user from doing
"rm -rf /" when logged in as root.

I don't see that attitude at all---this problem is clearly not due to
qmail, but rather the way the user configures it.

That's not the reason why it is *stuck* at 1.03---what does free
support have to do with versioning of a program?!? You clearly have
obscured the issue with facts.
