I will also add that I personally have no real preferences about any of this.
I
simply want a specification I can implement without a lot of trouble. The
current reject/ereject specification looks fairly reasonable to me - my one
quibble is where it says that when UTF-8 Is downgraded to US-ASCII in order to
respond at the SMTP level the user SHOULD be informed. Short of sending the
user a message sauing that this has been done I have no idea how to do that
and
I really don't think users will appreciate getting such messages notifying
them
of how rejected mail is handled.
Agreed. For a while I had a very nice error report that read:
Your script encountered a message that could not be parsed,
and delivered the message to your Inbox.
This was a _very stupid idea_ -- it basically amplified spam. I suspect
the same scenario here.
I'll drop this text unless someone really wants to keep it.
