I'm sort of sorry I started this whole thing, LOL. Just so I have some clarity on the issue, could someone please explain to me what exactly it is that Exchange does with Received: headers that is so bad? I see Received: lines from various mail systems and they all seem to me to be a little bit different. Also, if possible, please state which RFC dictates the format Exchange is accused of breaking.
Just trying to understand what the issue is. --- Regards, George -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Les Mikesell Sent: Monday, May 21, 2012 5:02 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Mimedefang] X-Auto-Response-Suppress header On Mon, May 21, 2012 at 4:47 PM, <[email protected]> wrote: > > 2) You still haven't said why I should accept any message which violates the > standards.

Much mail actually originates in proprietary systems that do not have exact mappings to/from the internet standard requirements. If you want to communicate with people on these systems, you have to deal with whatever the gateway systems do with the messages. -- Les Mikesell [email protected] _______________________________________________ NOTE: If there is a disclaimer or other legal boilerplate in the above message, it is NULL AND VOID.
