interpreting uucp path on smtp acceptance stage

[Eugene Crosser <crosser@rol.ru>]

Matti,

RCPT TO:<somebody!@hotmail.com>
501 5.1.3 Path data: After a '!', a non alphanumeric element

According to RFC2821:

   The standard mailbox naming convention is defined to be "local-
   part@domain": contemporary usage permits a much broader set of
   applications than simple "user names".  Consequently, and due to a
   long history of problems when intermediate hosts have attempted to
   optimize transport by modifying them, the local-part MUST be
   interpreted and assigned semantics only by the host specified in
   the domain part of the address.

Maybe the part starting at rfc821scn.c line 978 should be made
at least optional?
