(because HELO must be > FQDN) and so on... Right? No, not quite. In the first case, that's clearly a misconfigured domain, which you can choose to work around. In the second case, you have the choice to accept mail from whoever you like with whatever configuration you like. In the case of modifying response codes - sure, go ahead and do so; however I believe that it is fundamentally wrong as you *will* end up treating properly transient failures as permanent and will therefore bounce mail incorrectly. You have no way of knowing why a remote system is giving you a supposedly transient error to a condition which the text suggests should be permanent - which is why the RFC states that the MTA should deal only with the response code, not the text. I've said my bit now, and the more I think about it the less I want to shift my stance. Phil differs with me on this, so I think it's time for some of the other devs to chime in. In the words of the Dragons: I'm out.
