Yes, there is much cargo-culting of questionable practice. But there are also in some cases specifications that (no longer) match operational realities. Which is not to suggest that support for address literals is necessarily such an example, it rather depends on metrics I don't have, and which may even be time and place specific. Perhaps there was once a particular stream of abuse directed at ietf.org that the rule in question stopped. It may still be effective, then and could now be merely a low-volume source of false-positives. Or it could still be, perhaps intermittently, an effective way to distinguish spam from ham. If I were the operator of the MTA in question, I'd consider dropping the rule after checking recent logs for signs of its efficacy. -- Viktor.
