Hi. Ive got an application that needs to send reports daily, the application has configuration options to allow the reports to be sent to more than one recipient. Within the application this is configured by using a semi colon to seperate the addresses. This results in the following:
10216 SMTP>> 250 mail.yerma.org Hello mail.yerma.org [10.0.19.227] 10216 SMTP<< MAIL FROM:<[email protected]> 10216 SMTP>> 250 OK 10216 SMTP<< RCPT TO:<[email protected]>;<[email protected]> 10216 LOG: smtp_syntax_error MAIN 10216 SMTP syntax error in "RCPT TO:<[email protected]>;<[email protected]>" H=(mail.yerma.org) [10.0.19.227] malformed address: ;<[email protected] may not follow <[email protected]> When I point this out to the vendors of the application, they reply saying it works everywhere else, this is a local problem at my end, and point to urls such as: http://www.logicprobe.org/proj/logicmail/ticket/116 I know I an configure exim to allow this, or create an alias within exim to expand one email address to multiple, but in the interests of pedantry, and also because the support team at the vendor are so insistant that I'm wrong, can anyone confirm the correctness of exims actions, and my reading of rfc2821, specifically: RCPT TO:<forward-path> [ SP <rcpt-parameters> ] <CRLF> The first or only argument to this command includes a forward-path (normally a mailbox and domain, always surrounded by "<" and ">" brackets) identifying one recipient. Thanks in advance. -- Pete -- ## List details at http://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
