Hello,
I'm using exim-1.92 with the options 'headers_sender_verify = true' and
and 'headers_check_syntax = true'. So far, it does a great job at
filtering junk email and other malformed emails, however _many_ emails are
refused because they contain a header containing a line like:
To: FirstName LastName <foo@???>
or
From: FirstName LastName <foo@???>
with either FirstName or LastName containing 8bit characters. (Names with
accent marks are quite frequent here)
I know those headers are not strictly RFC821 compliant, but I'd like to
allow them anyway (overwise it bounces about ~20% of the "good" incoming
mail). Is it possible to add a configuration option to exim to allow 8bit
names even when header checking is on? (Something like
'headers_check_syntax_allow_8bit=true')
Cordialement,
