Re: sloppy option

[James MacKinnon <jmack@phys.ualberta.ca>]

RFC821 indicates that spaces are not allowed between
the ':' and the '<'  

   MAIL <SP> FROM:<reverse-path> <CRLF>

   RCPT <SP> TO:<forward-path> <CRLF>

   (see http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc821.html )


So "MAIL FROM: <some@address.org>" is not compliant...

MSloth is so good at breaking protocols...
