At least once a month, some Unix guru extraordinaire writes to me
complaining that our server will not accept mail from his server because we
block null senders. Their complaint is always the same - that by not
allowing null senders, we are failing to adhere to some long list of RFCs
that the other party is so intimately familiar with that he must recite it
in his sleep. Perhaps what annoys me the most is it's always some Unix type
who delights in pointing out that onyl Windows-based mail servers even allow
such an option as to block null senders.
What are other IMail users doing? If the feature is so loathesome and goes
against the RFC grain, why is it even offered? I mean, these guys feel so
strongly about this that I have even had a few block all SMTP traffic from
my server.
