Re: obscure email address formats

[Carl Friedberg <friedberg () exs esb com>]

Outbound (if you are sending e-mail to an external server) there might be either of these formats:

xtl.com:foobar () example com
foobar%example.com () xtl com

I use both of those formats with a mail forwarding service.

Subject: [fw-wiz] obscure email address formats

Is there any good reason to allow email addresses (in smtp, imap and alikes)
in any format different from mailbox@fqdn ?

There is plenty of other stuff defined in RFCs and I wonder if anyone really uses it so
I should *not* just filter it out.
