>  I noticed problem with SMTP: Bro assumes that e.g. the To-field contains a 
> comma-separated list of mail-addresses. According to [RFC 
> 5322|https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5322#section-3.6.3] there is also the 
> possibility to use groups (see below).
> {code}
> To: "Test Group":<[email protected]>,<[email protected]>;
> {code}
> Regarding groups I am not sure whether they can be nested. If I am not 
> mistaken, the [grammar|https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5322#section-3.4] in 
> the RFC would allow nested groups. But in my understanding this is not 
> desired for the Destination Address Fields:
> {quote}
> the field name, which is either "To", "Cc", or "Bcc", followed by a 
> comma-separated list of one or more addresses (either mailbox or group syntax)
> {quote}
> That leads to two questions:
> #   Would it be sufficient for Bro to log just the addresses (usually whats 
> inside < and >) without description (quoted with " )?
> #   Should Bro support nested group-syntax?
> I think option 1 (just log the plain addresses) should be sufficient, because 
> if someone is interested in more details, one could have a look at the raw 
> headers.
