[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-642?page=comments#action_12438892 ] Stefano Bagnara commented on JAMES-642: ---------------------------------------
I think we should support this as an OPTIONAL, DISABLED BY DEFAULT feature. I would follow this way for every non rfc strict feature we want to support. If we ship it as disabled by default we will not encourage bad practice because most of our users will never enable this, but if we give the the option to support this we would avoid to loose users because of similar things. And I also agree that fetchmail is not involved by this issue: fetchmail should care of rfc2822, this one is rfc2821. > Mail Address Error : Did not start and end with < > (brackets) - > Compatibility leak > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: JAMES-642 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-642 > Project: James > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: Trunk > Environment: James 3.0 > Reporter: Guillermo Grandes > > I have a little problem with a few of historical applications (including > Oracle packages to send mail) who do not send the brackets (<>) in MAIL FROM: > address / RCPT TO: address and James kick-out this with error: > 2006-09-29 13:30:50,127 ERROR [smtpserver] Error parsing sender address: > [EMAIL PROTECTED]: did not start and end with < > > MAIL FROM: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > 501 5.1.7 Syntax error in MAIL command > RCPT TO: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > 501 5.5.2 Syntax error in parameters or arguments > In sendmail and IIS-SMTP don't have this problem. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
