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.
