Re: Regarding SMTP path length ...

2003-07-31 21:06:31

    I have a question regarding the maximum path length allowed in RCPT TO
as well as MAIL FROM.
    RFC 2821 says, this limit is 256 bytes.

    Now, does this limit include the escape characters specified in path ?
    For e.g., if address is <a\(_at_)b@c.com>, then
    whether path length calculation should include "\" character ?

yes.
