Why doesn't the smtp daemon do canonicalizations? IMHO any smtp
daemon which does not convert local addresses to qualified addresses
when sending a message to another host is not configured correctly.
Suppose a user does this?
$ telnet localhost smtp
HELO myname
MAIL FROM: <kai>
RCPT TO: <peter>
RCPT TO: <karl@cs.uni-helgoland.de>
DATA
To: peter, karl@cs.uni-helgoland.de
From: kai
Subject: Good Morning
Good morning, Peter and Karl!
Kai
.
Shouldn't the smtp daemon on localhost convert `peter' into
`peter@myname.mydomain.de' before sending the message to
karl@cs.uni-helgoland.de?
