Hi Scott:

Thanks ... A while back I was suggesting a simple test that can at least
validate the format of the sender email.

This is a perfect example..  This email is not valid and although it failed
a lot of other tests but it should also be easy to add more weight to wrong
addresses.

Of course if there is an RFC addendum that says  "ben."@aol.com is a valid
email then my argument is totally off base.

Kami

No.

aol.com is a valid domain with an MX record, so it passes the MAILFROM test.
