[Spamassassin Wiki] Update of "Rules/FROM_MISSPACED" by LeeMaguire

Dear Wiki user,

You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Spamassassin Wiki" for change notification.

The "Rules/FROM_MISSPACED" page has been changed by LeeMaguire.
http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/Rules/FROM_MISSPACED

--------------------------------------------------

New page:
#language en
== SpamAssassin Rule: FROM_MISSPACED ==

''Standard description:'' From: missing whitespace

=== Explanation ===

In the From: header, the whitespace separating the display name from the angle brackets containing the email address is missing. Invalid formatting of headers can prevent various validation checks from succeeding, and also indicates the software used to send mail does not conform to this standard.

For example:
 {{{ From: Example Sender<se...@example.com> }}}

(Note that many mail clients, when formatting the received mail for reading, will display the missing space.)

=== Further Info ===

The default scores for this rule can be found [[http://spamassassin.apache.org/tests.html|in the online list of tests]].

Mail header encoding is defined in [[http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5322|RFC 5322]].
