Parenthesized text is optional. From-domain = "FROM" FWS Extended-Domain CFWS Extended-Domain = Domain / ( Domain FWS "(" TCP-info ")" ) / ( Address-literal FWS "(" TCP-info ")" ) in this case domain matches "Domain" (and thouse matches Extended-Domain) and parenthesized

According to RFC 2822, text in () represents comment (see section 3.2.3) and is used in the place where RFC2821 allows CFWS. CWFS is allowed to contain a comment (it's what differs FWS from CFWS). So, while this format is not optimal for automated parsing, it does not violate RFCs. 19.04.2018 0:

While you are right the RFC's say you should enclose dotted quad in some places in the email transaction, when it comes to 'Received' lines, there is a little more 'free for all'. These so called 'trace' fields are covered in RFC5322 and RFC5321 "Received:" header fields of messages originatin
