Hi all, mail02 and mail03 tests non-existed host and non-existed
username in the test. However in some systems (at least in RHEL6),
they both fails because of the sender name of the returned letter is
"Mail Deliver System" instead of "Mail Delivery Subsys", which makes RC1
to be zero and fail the test. The patch fixes this issue.

Garrett, any objection merging it to upstream?

Hi Caspar,

I reviewed/verified your patch and it seems to be working fine. I verified it on RHEL6 and both mail02 and mail03 tests are passing now. I believe it can be merged upstream.
Garrett, Any comments?

Thanks,
Shubham

    I guess... there's no apparent rhyme nor reason to GNU/Linux
userland software development, so I'm not going to fight these issues
anymore.
    The LSB should maintain these tests and standardize things if
anyone really cares like the opengroup folks do for all of Unix.
Thanks,

Alright Garrett..., so how should we take the patches in userland arena in future (including this one from Caspar)?
I mean should they be reviewed and merged upstream? Do LSB currently involved in maintaining them?

Thanks, Shubham

(this is going to seem like a bit of a rant, so please bear with me...)

I don't know if the LSB actually has a test suite, but they should
really get into the business of producing a test suite, because the
LSB is mocked (in some circles) for being an excuse for a standards
committee.

FreeBSD devs (for sure) and many Linux devs know that there isn't a
lot of decision making that goes into making Linux consistent across
all platforms. Someone needs to herd all of the cats together and
provide a means of testing standardization for these things (again,
LSB) because then the quality element will properly trickle down in
the GNU/Linux community.

Right now everything's too ad hoc and messy for anyone depending on
behavior to actually depend on Linux to remain constant over an
extended period of time. That's one reason why (apart from GPL
licensing) that people stay away from Linux: it's consistently
inconsistent.

Thanks,
-Garrett

Alright Garrett.., I can understand your concerns on quality standardization and consistency across multiple platforms.
But how do we conclude my below question for now?

@Caspar: Any comments from your side?

Thanks,
Shubham
