Bug#544175: add_mail_brackets option wrong default and description

2009-08-29 Thread martin f krafft
Package: mldonkey-server
Severity: minor
Tags: upstream

The add_mail_brackets option seems wrongly defined. It defaults to
false and the description says Does your mail-server need ...
around addresses, suggesting that it's a workaround. RFC 5321,
however, specifies that these brackets are required:

  4.1.2. Command Argument Syntax

  […]
  Reverse-path   = Path / 
  Forward-path   = Path
  Path   =  [ A-d-l : ] Mailbox 
  […]

The default should thus be true and the description set to false if
your mail server does not know how to handle angle-brackets around
addresses (RFC 5321).

Ideally, the option should be removed and replaced with
omit_mail_brackets, defaulting to false and with description set
to true if your mail server does not implement RFC 5321 correctly
and cannot handle angle-brackets around addresses.
