Well that is wildly inaccurate. Who calls themselves an engineer and doesn't know how MX works? Sorry, but I have to disagree. I'm sure you can cite examples for each, but that isn't a reason to indict all programmers; the original post this calls back to was a much more universally misunderstood concept, as far as I can tell.

- dspillett 4y agoLooks like we need to add another falsehood to the list: * all (or even most) engineers and other technical persons know and understand the details of mail exchange I do, but I wouldn't expect all to have much understanding and I wouldn't expect most to know a lot of the finer detail. Heck, I think I've just learned that local-part has a 64 octet limit (or if I already knew it I'd forgotten).
