Dear All,
I think I might have just found an address parse bug. I'm not sure if
it is a bug or not -- I've check RFC822, and I can't see it being
illegal.
Addresses of the format: foo@??? <foo@???> are not being
accepted.
I have headers_check_syntax = true set in the config file, but as far as
I can see this syntax is not invalid. Is this a bug, or is the format
really invalid?
-Matt
