quoted-pair problem
I use zmailer-2.99.27 on AIX 4.1. One of the users here complains
that zmailer does not conform with rfc822/821. Using a backslash
in the envelope address triggs this error message:
----
The following message arrived with illegal envelope data, typically a
mangled address that doesn't obey the RFC822/976 protocol specification.
If you do not recognize the source of the bad header, perhaps you should
contact a Postmaster at your site and ask why your mail was rejected.
Your message is being returned unprocessed.
The following annotated envelope headers illustrate the error(s):
Error in "from" envelope address:
<\sojge@UU.SE>
^-expected word
----
As I read rfc821 and rfc822 the above address is valid.
