considerations. You can see this with the change in 450:
The subject line says "temporary rejections". The term used in the
SMTP specification is "temporary error status code".
Honestly, I was surprise I have didn't get any resistance based on
that concept (parsing of text) alone because frankly, it would be
very hard to argue against and might have been a show stopper for me.
The hunting season is not open yet. :-)
From RFC 5321:
"Unfortunately, variations, creative interpretations, and outright
violations of Internet mail protocols do occur; some would suggest
that they occur quite frequently."
The draft discusses about a creative interpretation of SMTP. Dave
Crocker commented on why greylisting works [1].
BTW, RFC 1651 has been obsoleted by RFC 5321. The correct reference
for DKIM is RFC 6376.
