[Declude.JunkMail] MAILFROM failing on user@domain@host

2002-09-26 Thread Bill B

Scott,

Mail from one of our users continuously fails the MAILFROM test, but I'm not sure that 
it should be failing.  The only funny thing this message has is the mail server 
hostname appended to the end of the address, but I thought that was valid.

Can you have a look?  Below are the message headers from the D*.SMD file and the 
contents of the Q*.SMD file, as well as the lines from the smtp logs...

Mail from one of our users continuously fails the MAILFROM test, but I'm 
not sure that it should be failing.  The only funny thing this message has 
is the mail server hostname appended to the end of the address, but I 
thought that was valid.

No, it isn't valid:

X-Note: Sent from [EMAIL PROTECTED]@mx.digical.com - 
h-64-236-243-243.twi.com ([64.236.243.243]).

RFC821 doesn't say how to handle this -- the return address is 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]@mx.digical.com, yet only 1 @ is allowed 
in the address (technically, the part to the left of the @ could have 
another one, if it was quoted, but that is rarely ever used).

There is an obscure routing method that is legal, and similar to this -- 
[EMAIL PROTECTED], where one mailserver would 
send it to mx.digical.com, which would then send it to 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]  However, you need a % in there for that 
to be valid.
