Hi

Can someone explain the following error:

1999-10-18 10:36:34 11d8HF-0005JE-00 rejected from kendy.up.ac.za
[137.215.101.101] <oavdwest@???>: syntax error in 'To' header:
missing or malformed local part (expected word or "<"): failing address is:
UP Thrip Interest Group

According to the remote server admin, the to header is part of the data of a
message and should not be checked. The rcpt is correct.

Below is the full log entry.
