Hi,
I am starting to play with IMAP subaddressing, and having a little trouble
with my MTA. I am running Merak 8.0.3 which requirs subaddressing to be
defined as "username:folder"@domain.com. Notice the quote (") marks - they
are intentional. However, when I enable the RFC 822 validation in ASSP, the
email is rejected as an improper email address.
I have skimmed the RFC 2822 document and from what I interpret from section
3.4.1, an address can contain quotes.
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2822#section-3.4.1
" An addr-spec is a specific Internet identifier that contains a
locally interpreted string followed by the at-sign character ("@",
ASCII value 64) followed by an Internet domain. The locally
interpreted string is either a quoted-string or a dot-atom."
I have additionally read through section 6 in RFC822
(http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc822#section-6) and not found anything
specific that prohibits quotes in an address spec.
However, the regex in ASSP will reject anything with a quote (") when doing
the RCF822 validation.
Am I misinterpreting RFC822/2822, or should ASSP be modified such that any
address containing quote marks be allowed? Furthermore, if I understand the
specs properly, any character is permissible within quotation marks as well.
So something like "eric)@@?#?$!"@domain.com would be valid, albeit extremely
odd....
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Eric
