So, please point to the formal specification that permits a From: field
to have no email address.

RFC 6854.


That's what I cited, too. It makes much of allowing the group construct (to permit aggregating various forms of the same addressee).

I assume the 'no address' permission is based on the CWFS alternative in:

   group-list      =   mailbox-list / CFWS / obs-group-list

which the document doesn't explain at all. Nor does it impose the RFC733 fall-back of requiring a Sender: field, with an email address.

If there's something else permitting no addressee, I'm still missing it.
