what should happen is that the sender gets a message back that says:
Your message could not be delivered because it was illegally formatted.
You should replace your mail reader with one that works correctly.
See http://foo.bar/mail-readers.html for a list of broken mail readers.
Noone would want to configure his server that way when it blocks
legitimate mail. And users of broken MUAs would still complain that
``only this server is so picky'', even if they agree that it's right.
(That's one of the ill side effects of the robustness principle: If most
servers accept broken messages you generate, you can get away with it.)
