just out of curiousity, what do people do with
illegally formed commands?  I checked around with
a couple of implementations over the weekend, and
not one of them did anything seeming intelligent
if I entered the following lines:

MAIL FROM:<jack@jacks world%>
 or
RCPT TO:<jack@jacks world%>

No error returns or anything.  Both the '%' and the ' '
are illegal on the domain name side.

Any hints or ideas what everyone should be returning
for both of these?

regards,
Jack
