You'd think after *TWENTY ONE GODDAMN YEARS* that a major vendor would
understand the difference between the RFC821 'RCPT TO:" and the RFC822 'To:'
field. Of course, this same sort of confusion (only with From: versus MAIL
FROM:) is why they can't seem to get a simple thing like an 'Out of Brain'
message routed to the right place (or not sent at all).
0821 Simple Mail Transfer Protocol. J. Postel. Aug-01-1982. (Format:
TXT=124482 bytes) (Obsoletes RFC0788) (Obsoleted by RFC2821) (Also
STD0010) (Status: STANDARD)
0822 Standard for the format of ARPA Internet text messages. D.
Crocker. Aug-13-1982. (Format: TXT=109200 bytes) (Obsoletes RFC0733)
(Obsoleted by RFC2822) (Updated by RFC1123, RFC1138, RFC1148,
RFC1327, RFC2156) (Also STD0011) (Status: STANDARD)
Screw the clue-bat, this calls for a lead pipe and a mallet.
