Hi All.

Postfix rejects emails to addresses in MAIL FROM/RCPT TO that start with "-", 
for example:
[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>
[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>
In log we have "warning: Illegal address syntax from ..... in RCPT command".

As I understand, it's not RFC-compliant. I didn't read RFCs carefully. But here 
is short description in Wikipedia - 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email_address#Local_part
As example, one of the biggest Russian free email service provider (mail.ru) 
permits such emails.

Can I tune this behavior without changing code?
What reason to place too tight restrictions on email address syntax (especially 
on the local part)?

Thanks in advance and thanks for Postfix!
