One more time.
How about domains in the M-Id that are terminated with a ".", like
Message-Id: <023502523(_dot_)baz(_at_)growl(_dot_)pobox(_dot_)com(_dot_)>
The trailing "." should be legal, right? (telling named not to resolve
the domain any further.)
Nope. The domain part of Message-ID is not allowed to end in a dot.
As for attempting to resolve the domain further (via the action of the
RES_DNSRCH or RES_DEFNAMES flags to res_search()), no program should
even bother. Attempting to resolve it all is fairly pointless given
that the domain part is not required to exist in the DNS at all.
