I am aware for the group syntax. But there was no ";". You can generate
such illegal addresses yourself using netscape (at least with the german
versions) by entering a real name part that contains a dot. Other
software (like outlook) would encode ths correctly quoted printable.
Netscape does encode german umlauts correct omitting the special character
":".
I created the following header line just using netscape 6.1:
To: 02121: Markus Stoll <markus.stoll@???>,12345:
=?ISO-8859-1?Q?B=FCro?= ABC <abc@???>

well, this was not my point. My point is that some mailer generate
illegal header lines which confuses foranyaddress in system filters.
In the meantime I got along using $recipients instead of $h_to:
Here the illegal addresses are parsed correctly. I did not use
$recipients in the first place as the testing mode for system
message filter seems not complete to me. For certain cases
(for example mails from mailing list) I cannot setup the test mode
passing the SMTP recipient (RCPT TO:). But maybe I just did not
find the right option.
With kind regards,
