We've got a misunderstanding. I accept your statement that FQDN
means something different in SMTP than DNS. I'm not trying to
correct Postfix behavior, I'm trying to find the best reference
to add to Wikipedia's article on FQDNs. If I'm not mistaken, 5321
2.3.5 is this reference (and, coincidentally, it appears that
5321 is being published as we speak). Yes?
