[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-344?page=comments#action_57316 ] Steve Brewin commented on JAMES-344: ------------------------------------
I no more expect non-compliant servers to change than I expect that we could add support for all of the flavours of non-compliant headers that exist now and in the future. As I suggested in my previous comment, my view is that the best way to handle this to leverage the existing functionality and handle them via a Mailet. This way, malformed headers injected by any means - fetchmail, SMTP, whatever - can be handled in the same way by the same code. Such a Mailet could use the regex technique you suggest. Regarding JAMES-345, its in my queue. > FetchMail cannot parse particular format of "Received" header > ------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: JAMES-344 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-344 > Project: James > Type: Bug > Components: FetchMail > Versions: 2.2.1 > Reporter: Jeff Keyser > Priority: Minor > > The mail server I am pulling e-mail from inserts a "Received" header that > looks like the following: > Received: from unknown (HELO host.domain.tld) (192.168.255.254) by ... > BTW - The name "unknown" is always used.
