WTF? can anyone please explain me why must I enclose my address between the "<>"?
Yup -- that's what the spec says. See, in particular, 4.1.1.2, which gives the syntax of the MAIL FROM: command, and 4.1.2, which gives the syntax of a Reverse-path. There are some SMTP servers which don't require the <>, but they're being generous -- they've always been required. --Steve Bellovin, http://www.research.att.com/~smb
