R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment: I agree. My reading of the rfc is that the form without the brackets *must* be supported by the MTA, while any other form is optional. So smtplib should use the required form for its VRFY query. Any MTA that doesn't recognize that form would be broken.
2.5 is in security-fix-only mode, so this can only be fixed in 2.6 and above. ---------- keywords: +easy nosy: +r.david.murray priority: -> normal stage: -> test needed versions: +Python 2.6, Python 2.7, Python 3.1, Python 3.2 -Python 2.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7484> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
