Once you've specified (from memory) HELO, RCPT TO, and MAIL FROM, you use DATA to send the actual content - both headers and body - and anything goes there. If the headers are malformed, mail clients may choke on it, but SMTP doesn't particularly care. RCPT TO/MAIL FROM and the To:/From: headers don't have any particular relationship enforced on them. -- When we reduce our own liberties to stop terrorism, the terrorists have already won. - reverius Innocence is no protection when governments go bad. - Tom Swiss
