Great! Hope's these get accepted in Courier.

Just a quick question. As was reading up on my RFC and came across RFC1123
which states that you MUST NOT reject bad HELO's? Is this behaviour and that
of bofhcheckhelo "legal" to RFC 1123 or more current RFC's? Is RFC1123
superseded by some RFC (can't seem to find a RFC-repository that gives me
accurate information on this) which allows rejecting of bad HELO's?

Kind Regards,
Sander Holthaus
