Absolutely. Rejecting non-Exim list emails which have no
To:
Subject:
Date:
Message-ID:
From:
headers is Official policy here. If senders want to play about let them
do it elsewhere :-)
Any genuine serious email sender will normally include a 'To:' header in
their message. If their mail program lets them omit any of the above
headers then we will always reject their email with a suitable
explanatory message. For example
[C61] TO header missing. Msg2
No one needs a RFC to tell them their email looks odd because the 'To:'
header is missing :-)
We are considering accepting European Alternatives to the American
'From' and 'To'. For example
Afzender:
Aan:
Datum:
Ontwerp:
The French is a bit more difficult because they use accented letters ;-)
Have a nice weekend.
Paul.
