user@[1.2.3.4] does NOT work as far as I can tell. The
brackets are not valid
characters in a domain name (according to courier) so it
generates a "syntax
error". Check it out and let me know if I'm missing something.
Then Courier is seriously RFC-non-compliant.
Specifically, quoting RFC1123:
5.2.17 Domain Literals: RFC-822 Section 6.2.3
A mailer MUST be able to accept and parse an Internet domain
literal whose content ("dtext"; see RFC-822) is a dotted-
decimal host address. This satisfies the requirement of
Section 2.1 for the case of mail.
An SMTP MUST accept and recognize a domain literal for any of
its own IP addresses.
And in 2.1:
...a dotted-decimal number must be enclosed within
"[ ]" brackets for SMTP mail (see Section 5.2.17).
As you can see from my previous posts, I need that feature also and I'm going
to write a patch. However time flies, I've little as usual, and I'm a newbie
in respect to writing Courier code. Is anybody interested to join me for this
work?
