[jira] Created: (MAILET-28) MailAddress is not RFC 821 compliant
MailAddress is not RFC 821 compliant
------------------------------------
Key: MAILET-28
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAILET-28
Project: Mailet
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Core API
Affects Versions: 2.4
Reporter: Amichai Rothman
MailAddress address parsing claims to be RFC 821 compliant but fails in various ways. I added a bunch of test cases to the unit tests, and fixed several that failed.
On a related note, perhaps it's time to move it to RFC 5321 compliance (not entirely cross-compatible with 821, but it obsoletes it and is the current standard, and incompatibilities are generally in obscure syntax constructs which are never used in practice anyway). I was thinking of a complete rewrite, seeing that the current implementation is buggy, over-complex and inefficient (e.g. using lots of StringBuffers which are not needed, having an unnecessary field which is used only during construction, etc.)
