- Waterluvian 10y ago"This will often help a postmaster recognize the real recipient of the message if the address is invalid." There were services where humans actually sometimes tried to manually route an email?
- sundvor 10y agoYou must be new here. postmaster@domain.tld used to be working mailboxes. :) EDIT: Ah, http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2821.html http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2821.html states it should still be so.
- Waterluvian 10y agoI had no idea. So cool.
- bradknowles 10y agoSee also the USENIX Short Topics in System Administration booklets, specifically "#15: Internet Postmaster: Duties and Responsibilities". Sigh.
- sundvor 10y agoCool - I just tested sending an email to postmaster@ my Fastmail domain, and they had indeed implemented a redirect to my username@. Smiles :)
