RE: stupid SMTP rejection of spammers

Start by writing a paper about "BCP of SMTP operation".

(1) Don't block empty envelope from:
(2) Don't say ok to a recipient address if you are not 100% sure
you can do
local delivery.
(3) ...


any others that folks want to contribute?

Don't emit MAIL FROMs that are non-replyable.  Kind of goes without saying,
but it happens all the time.


Perhaps this BCP could include a discussion on recommended 'vacation'
behavior, as well.
