MailAddress is not RFC 821 compliant
------------------------------------
Key: MAILET-28
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAILET-28
Project: Mailet
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Core API
Affects Versions: 2.4
Reporter: Amichai Rothman
MailAddress address parsing claims to be RFC 821 compliant but fails in various
ways. I added a bunch of test cases to the unit tests, and fixed several that
failed.
On a related note, perhaps it's time to move it to RFC 5321 compliance (not
entirely cross-compatible with 821, but it obsoletes it and is the current
standard, and incompatibilities are generally in obscure syntax constructs
which are never used in practice anyway). I was thinking of a complete rewrite,
seeing that the current implementation is buggy, over-complex and inefficient
(e.g. using lots of StringBuffers which are not needed, having an unnecessary
field which is used only during construction, etc.)
