Question for ya on that Barry - do you think that MUA
and mail server implementers would actually bounce
messages as strictly as Martin's document might call
for? I'm not one of those implementers, so I don't know,
but I'd not be surprised to hear that in fact they'd
continue to prioritise mail delivery (for non spam)
over protocol purity.
My guess is that the implementer would continue to prioritise mail
delivery by default. There is some guidance in RFC 1123 (Section
1.2.2) about the general rule. I'd say that the rule is about
handling error conditions gracefully while not replicating the error
throughout the network.
