Well, not SMTP-compliant addresses, but rfc822 (the EMail specification if you will) addresses. anyways, that said - 1.1.x allows users to shoot themselves in the foot if they so choose. It will no longer complain about addresses being invalid unless the server (or local sendmail) reports them as bad. However, keep in mind that if you are using a local sendmail, you won't get much of a meaningful error. Jeff -- Jeffrey Stedfast Evolution Hacker - Ximian, Inc.
