Well, I'll be. I tried to send an ill-formed email address from Thunderbird via a regular SMTP host, and it appears I'm not getting a delivery error. (I tried to send an ill-formed email in an SMTP talk with the server, and you're right, it drops the connection.) I realize this is somewhat off-topic, but does this mean Thunderbird has an off-standard way of interacting with SMTP servers? Maybe even one that qualifies as a Thunderbird bug? --Ole _____________________________________________ tmda-users mailing list (tmda-users@tmda.net) http://tmda.net/lists/listinfo/tmda-users
