But SA isn't necessarily trying to enforce the RFCs, it's trying to
detect the common patterns in spam. Sometimes, spam patterns are
RFC-compliant, and sometimes they aren't.
I think "message id with no dot after the @" is worth detecting, but
with a low positive score -- that sort of thing occurs depressingly
often in real email too.
