Bug#1061155: cron: "crontab -e" does not report "unsafe" mail and so job output can be lost

[Khaznadar Georges]

Hello Jonathan, I apologize, I had not paid attention to the extra space included in the list of MAILTO addresses. I suppose that we can sanitize the value of MAILTO, by checking it with a regular _expression_ derived from RFC 5322 Official Standard (see https://emailregex.com/), or do you suggest some lighter approach?

The problem is the space character.
