Hello!

Could you help me where is the syntax error in this address?

error,relay=::ffff:195.228.245.161,from=<optimail-%9566%- %22342...@optimail.hu>: 517 Syntax
error.

AFAIK this is a very high volume newsletter.

Unfortunately, this "high volume newsletter" violates RFC 2822 with its email address.

From section 3.4.1 of RFC 2822:

addr-spec       =       local-part "@" domain

local-part      =       dot-atom / quoted-string / obs-local-part

In this case, the "dot-atom" form of local-part applies.

Section 3.2.4 spcifies dot-atom as follows:

atext           =       ALPHA / DIGIT / ; Any character except controls,
                       "!" / "#" /     ;  SP, and specials.
                       "$" / "%" /     ;  Used for atoms
                       "&" / "'" /
                       "*" / "+" /
                       "-" / "/" /
                       "=" / "?" /
                       "^" / "_" /
                       "`" / "{" /
                       "|" / "}" /
                       "~"

atom            =       [CFWS] 1*atext [CFWS]

dot-atom        =       [CFWS] dot-atom-text [CFWS]

dot-atom-text   =       1*atext *("." 1*atext)

In other words, the "%" character is a prohibited character in email addresses.
