Package: postfix
Version: 2.3.8-2+b1
Severity: normal

After upgrading to etch, I started seeing these in my server logs:

  Jul 28 07:32:01 goretex postfix/smtpd[28995]: warning: proxy 127.0.0.1:10024 
rejected "MAIL FROM: <[EMAIL PROTECTED] >": "501 5.5.2 Syntax: MAIL FROM: 
<address>"


It would appear that AMaViS (which I'm running as a before-queue filter)
has become stricter in what it accepts.  (Which is why I turned on
strict_rfc821_envelopes in the past.)  But if I read RFC 821 correctly,
this should not have been allowed by Postfix in the first place.  To
quote section 4.1.2:

  MAIL <SP> FROM:<reverse-path> <CRLF>

  <reverse-path> ::= <path>

  <path> ::= "<" [ <a-d-l> ":" ] <mailbox> ">"


(RFC 2821 doesn't seem to contradict this either.)
