Regarding the thread about brain dead MTAs that send NDRs to Reply-To
instead of to the envelope from.

That's a bad address (as someone as pointed out to me).  I really should
cut & paste.  The correct address is:

 http://www.cranfield.ac.uk/docs/email/badbounce.html

Enjoy it.  I will add references to RFC 1123 when I get a chance.

Oh, and I was fairly annoyed when I wrote it and have been flamed by some
clueless "postmasters" I've referred to it (who could only say I was
arrogant, but not argue against a word of the content), but I think I am
going to keep the tone as it is.

If you think the previous paragraph is a teaser in order to entire people
to read it, you'd be cynical but correct :-)

Relativism is the triumph of authority over truth, convention over justice.
