I just got a bounced mail from my MAILER-DAEMON. I had specified a To: someone@some.where (something containing \") It was converted to To: someone@some.where \" (something containing \") which was indeed an unknown address :-). Is this cured in a more recent version of sendmail? I think it is really a bug. Quoted from RFC822: comment = "(" *(ctext / quoted-pair / comment) ")" ctext = <any CHAR excluding "(", ; => may be folded ")", "\" & CR, & including linear-white-space> quoted-pair = "\" CHAR ; may quote any char My sendmail does this for all quoted-pairs. If there are several quoted-pairs in one comment, they are collected into one token immediately before the comment. -- Marco BITNET: franzen@dbsinf6.bitnet (preferred) UUCP: franzen@infbs.uucp
