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?
