email{at}[123.123.123.123] is a valid email address everywhere I've =
tried
except MS Outlook. There are no special characters in it. Nice try,
though.
from RFC 2821, section 4.1.3
4.1.3 Address Literals
Sometimes a host is not known to the domain name system and
communication (and, in particular, communication to report and =
repair
the error) is blocked. To bypass this barrier a special literal =
form
of the address is allowed as an alternative to a domain name. For
IPv4 addresses, this form uses four small decimal integers =
separated
by dots and enclosed by brackets such as [123.255.37.2], which
indicates an (IPv4) Internet Address in sequence-of-octets form. =
For
IPv6 and other forms of addressing that might eventually be
standardized, the form consists of a standardized "tag" that
identifies the address syntax, a colon, and the address itself, in =
a
format specified as part of the IPv6 standards [17].
When I deleted it as you mention, it goes away only temporarily. In =
any
case, why should I, as a user, have to manually delete an item in
Outlook's name cache? MS Outlook's name caching "service" should =
handle
that by itself, without me asking. Besides, Microsoft wants $35 a pop
for me to ask why the program doesn't clear its name cache when it
should. I'll give you another nice try for that, though. Plus a =
bonus
point for trying to increase MS revenue.
