-- BUT I NEVER USE IT IN THE DOT-STRIPPED CONDITION.
Huh? internally do you mean?
I never use the bodies of the messages which have come in except to send them out again. They sit in a file until they are shipped out again, and later the file is deleted.
The choice is to develop some kind of logic to determine and mark the stuffing status of messages, or strip and stuff everything. I think the latter is safer ....
I agree, given that a system is already established and working. But for future development of MTAs there might be some simpler MTAs which could entirely skip the coding of dot-stuffing and dot-stripping. For instance, if all you are running is an open relay :-?, then you can entirely skip this dot business.
Thank you for your response, Danny. I'll mention this on the <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> list, since it seems like an issue which may relate to the specification.
