Hey Lucio - we use the list... patches are posted, and appreciated by many, adopted by some or added to the base code.
Patch, post and be loved! ;-) Thanks. m/ -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Lucio Sent: Thursday, September 11, 2003 5:25 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [courier-users] RE: Courier and dsbl.org > > The > > problem is that it refuses the domain literal in dotted quad form > > ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), replying "Syntax error".

According to dsbl.org and to RFC 822, 1123 and 2821, a compliant mail server must accept that notation. Now, I suspect that no one claims Courier to be compliant to these RFCs, but I wonder if I'm the only one to consider this a bug. If Courier broke some other part of the same RFCs, that would definitely be regarded as a bug, so why not the support for this notation? I would be happy to write the necessary patch, but I have not found any links for bugs/patches submission.

Good luck! > It didn't work at all. The same "Syntax error" is being reported by the mail server. Now I guess that syntax checking is done by Courier *before* looking up the aliases database, so I wonder if this workaround could effectively work in a newer version of Courier, where syntax checking might have been changed. However I'd like someone telling me if I'm correct before I start making major changes to my mail server, maybe only to realize they were useless.
