That's something that can happen in a flexible system like iMS. You can do
things that aren't exactly right (like the bad MX) but iMS will accept it
and try to deliver the message.

seem to always match the individual form.SMTPName list members in the RCPT
template. Here's an example of what I mean. I've only actually seen this
problem when CFMAIL is used to send email, but it might crop up with other
mailers.

[EMAIL PROTECTED]". Notice the space after the comma. When this
mail came in to RCPT template, the individual recipients were properly found
in the DB when querying based on UserAlias=form.SMTPName. However, when it
got to DATA template, and started looping over the form.RCPTList, the list
actually kept the original space after the comma. So, the user lookup failed
in DATA template because it was trying to find "
[EMAIL PROTECTED]" (with the leading space). Hope that's clear.

Not sure if this would be considered an iMS bug or not. I took care of it by
stripping any whitespace from the RCPTlist in DATA before looping over it,
like so:

I think that I would consider this to be something to be fixed in iMS. I
can have this fixed before 1.3 is released.
