[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-642?page=comments#action_12438894 ] Noel J. Bergman commented on JAMES-642: ---------------------------------------
Postal's Law is not an invitation to blithely ignore specifications. RFC 2821 is quite clear that the '<' and '>" characters must always be present for MAIL and RCPT. They are not required for VRFY and EXPN, but those are not implemented by JAMES. JAMES has always intentionally enforced RFC compliance. It would be a fairly sizable sea-change to stop doing so now, and should be discussed on the mailing list, not backdoored on the issue tracker. > Mail Address Error : Did not start and end with < > (brackets) - > Compatibility leak > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: JAMES-642 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-642 > Project: James > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: Trunk > Environment: James 3.0 > Reporter: Guillermo Grandes > Assigned To: Norman Maurer > > I have a little problem with a few of historical applications (including > Oracle packages to send mail) who do not send the brackets (<>) in MAIL FROM: > address / RCPT TO: address and James kick-out this with error: > 2006-09-29 13:30:50,127 ERROR [smtpserver] Error parsing sender address: > [EMAIL PROTECTED]: did not start and end with < > > MAIL FROM: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > 501 5.1.7 Syntax error in MAIL command > RCPT TO: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > 501 5.5.2 Syntax error in parameters or arguments > In sendmail and IIS-SMTP don't have this problem. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
