A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 7103 Title: Advice for Safe Handling of Malformed Messages Author: M. Kucherawy, G. Shapiro, N. Freed Status: Informational Stream: IETF Date: January 2014 Mailbox: superuser at gmail.com, gshapiro at proofpoint.com, ned.freed at mrochek.com Pages: 24 Characters: 48387 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-appsawg-malformed-mail-11.txt URL: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7103.txt Although Internet message formats have been precisely defined since the 1970s, authoring and handling software often shows only mild conformance to the specifications. The malformed messages that result are non-standard. Nonetheless, decades of experience have shown that using some tolerance in the handling of the malformations that result is often an acceptable approach and is better than rejecting the messages outright as nonconformant. This document includes a collection of the best advice available regarding a variety of common malformed mail situations; it is to be used as implementation guidance. This document is a product of the Applications Area Working Group Working Group of the IETF. INFORMATIONAL: This memo provides information for the Internet community.
