If that sentence is not mis-worded, it is a declaration of ignorance of important fundamental facts about how email works. RFC5321 is required reading for anyone who wants to be taken seriously in technical discussions of email. > There are valid messages with an invalid Return-Path. This could only be true when using a technically useless definition of "valid messages" which does not refer to any formal standard or even to informal best practice norms. There are many strong arguments for mail systems to refrain from attempting to require strict compliance to many details of the SMTP and email format standards, but it is unhelpful to assume that historically or even currently widespread forbearance of operational enforcement of some facet of the standards grants any sort of validity to non-compliant messages. > This may due to some assumptions about how email works. Indeed.
