Am I missing something? Was that intentional in the spec?
FWIW, I brought the idea of having an option not to decide the header in
the
distant past but there was little enthusiasm for it so I dropped it. It
would
be an easy extension to specify, of course.
Our implementation has an option to do this that was added because, if
memory
serves, a particular customer requested it. I've used it myself in a
couple of cases to catch some bogons. I don't know if any other customers
have used it, but I don't recall anyone else asking for the capbility.
Ned, would you mind sharing the syntax that your implementation uses?
If we implement this in Cyrus, we might as well use a consistent syntax.
