Oh please. The functionality exists for you to be strict on this. By
all means, go for it. The rest of us still care about ensuring
delivery of legitimate mail, however 'broken' it might appear to you. :)
I agree. The primary goal is good mail delivery performance.
what about rfc then ?
"be strict in what you send, liberal in what you accept"
There's too much bad prior art to expect everyone to be RFC
compliant. And pretty much every other MTA accepts 8 bit
headers by default; sometimes you have to go with the crowd.
You're welcome to be as strict as you want on your own site.
I think we've covered this subject as much as it deserves.
