to be precise, it doesn't require the MTA to accept it. it requires the
MTA to transfer it, which is a bandwidth cost. in theory the MTA can
still reject it at "." time.
Indeed. One of these days I'm going to learn how to write what I think.
practically speaking, i hear there are a number of MTAs that treat all
"." time rejections as tempfail, and will retry.
This I did not now, but then again I'm not surprised either.
cheers,
Alex
