Subject: Re: [apps-discuss] Comments on Malformed Message BCP draft
I do think there's room for some sort of "if you must do this bad
thing, please do it this way" document series from IETF.
However, I don't think that would be applicable to having third party
mail relays repair malformed messages. I think that's no longer "best
way to do something that has the potential to do harm" and closer to
"how to make a bad situation worse".
Of course, the devil is in the details.
I don't think this work is targeted at intermediaries. In fact, I'd be
completely fine with expressly saying it's meant to address processing at
ingress MTAs only.
