- allarm 9mo agoYou should read it again.
- sigseg1v 9mo agoIt's not required but they need to understand the implications. In this case the implication is that Google drops the mail. So clearly they didn't understand the implications.
- mort96 9mo agoSo you agree that calling it a requirement is wrong?
- lukan 9mo agoYes, but this might be googles fault for not respecting/missinterpretating the spec.
- dodobirdlord 9mo agoGoogle probably did parse these messages as well-formed before inspecting them and deciding to drop them based on the lack of this field. The RFC imposes no mandatory obligation to deliver messages just because they are well-formed.
