(1) Is it better to write an SMTPd that is strict to the RFCs or
lenient?  That is, where does one go to settle disputes -- or is it
better to sit back and miss mail due to differences in interpreting
the RFCs?  Ie: if an smtpd accepts bare linefeeds, etc., is that
really all that bad on incoming? what about then when sending mail,
should one write a "smart" sender, or just a simple one
that tries to be as standard as possible?

(2) Are there any tools to thoroughly test a prospective SMTPd
against RFC compliance?  Is anyone interested in such a tool?

(3) qmail accepts "mail from:" and "rcpt to:" without parameters.  The
"data" command is then allowed, a message body can be entered, and is
accepted with a 250 after the dot line.  Is this correct?
