I have to disagree, while it can be a pain in the butt to deal with
disgruntled users and idiot admins, if we start slacking up on things
like this we end up with a set of RFC's that don't mean squat to people
...
[...]
Which leads to the inevitable observation that there are no prizes for
conformance to the RFC, but there are for getting the job done. The job of
a mail transfer agent is to transfer mail. Not pass a conformance test
based on a specific interpretation of an RFC...
I would disagree on this. The MTAs job is to transfer mail based on the set of standards in the RFCs. If these standards are open to interpretation then there will be discrepancies between the MTAs.
In this case Courier has chosen a stricter interpretation of the RFCs.
