Without quoting your lengthy and fairly specific message, I can tell you
that one problem I caught and have been in the process of fixing also
relates to illegal MS-DOS filename characters in mailing addresses. Any
fix should be compiled conditionally on Borland's __MSDOS__ flag.
If mail is sent to a valid host name, instead of to a user@host, SMTP
will loop the mail endlessly. For example, mail to "n1bee@n1bee.ampr.org"
will succeed, but mail to "n1bee.ampr.org" will cause an endless loop,
requiring the "stop smtp" command to recover the system.
