Hello list, I saw something in my qpsmtpd.log this evening which struck me as unusual. In one particular incoming message, the MAIL FROM was not there. A quick telnet session reproducing it follows, followed by the list of active plugins.
I'm not aware of there being a good reason for allowing this behavior, but I'd be happy to be told otherwise. Also, for what it's worth, I've tried this with and without 'dont_require_anglebrackets' enabled, both resulting in the same behavior. Ultimately, I'm curious if this is expected, or if I've found a bug. Best regards, and thank you for the great program. -- log output -- 220 myhostname ESMTP qpsmtpd 0.84 ready; send us your mail, but not your spam. helo myhostname 250 myhostname Hi myotherhostname [myip]; I am so happy to meet you. mail from: 250 <>, sender OK - how exciting to get mail from you! rcpt to:m...@myhostname 250 <m...@myhostname>, recipient ok data 354 go ahead quit 221 myhostname closing connection.
