Dan,

Read -> RFC 1796 first;

Just cause it is mentioned as/or referenced to an RFC does not make it a standard.

Precisely, or vice versa, but what people should be worrying about isn't RFC compliance, but interoperability and better design. Whether it means RFC compliance, standards compliance, or neither.

Furthermore, some things in RFCs are just plain wrong or bad by design, DSN (ugly design, plus you can't control it, and you can't do anything about it, so why bother in the first place?) and MIME included (Email should have been designed to be 8-bit clean from the start). The the job of email servers should have been to copy messages around, not parse them. Welcome to the Internet: it sort-of works.
