It's an issue, to be sure. And people need to be edumacated. I recently pointed out to the IT department at Dice.com that they were sending out malformed Date: lines that were causing their emails to trigger against ILLEGAL_DATE... which most mailers manage to get right, so it's a fairly good indicator of spam and can be safely cranked way up. In fact, I pointed out chapter and verse from RFC-2821 where they were going wrong, and how to fix it (by padding the hour out with a leading zero before 10am). They told me they appreciated my "suggestion". I reminded them that it wasn't a suggestion, it was a conclusive documentation of where they were failing to conform to a 25 year-old specification that is, in fact, trivial... all things considered. I mean it's not X.400, right? ;-) Have they fixed it? Not the last time I checked. You'd think that given the nature of what they do, they'd have their pick of the crop for good IT and messaging people. Guess not. Kind of makes me think twice about posting my resume with them. :-( -Philip
