Why do you sound surprised? This is how everything works. Everything.
I tend to agree AND disagree about "everything" ^^
[Reminds me of the discussion about categorization which happened on
this ML a few days ago, about perl iirc ; ) ]
RFCs are there for having a common ground, right ?
If I'm not wrong, RFC compliance may even be required in some areas (via
contracts).
Are you referring to "extending standards w/o making it a
standard" (read: intellectual property and market advantage) ?
Or something else ?
Because now we're at it, I am trying to understand the caveats
of the whole mail system stuff.
Setting it up for a local/personal network was easy, but it's
another beast when getting public (IMHO).
Like should I ignore all those non-standards stuff when setting it ?
Or should I handle them in the config ?
