Thanks to all who replied to my question. For reference, here is the sendmail rule I have been using. It comes from Phil McMahon's antispam rulesets, at http://www.doorbot.com/guides/sendmail/antispam/ What bothers me is that this particular rule has been "happy" for many years, and now suddenly chokes on one given sender's messages. Unfortunately, there is nothing surprising, but also nothing revealing, to be had in the actual rule. The emails in question were hitting the trigger that gives the "HTo: specified an invalid address" message, and the "arg1=" reported in my logs showed all the addresses ganged up as in my original post, which led me to think sendmail 8.13.8 wasn't seeing the recipients as a "list", but rather, as a single unparsable address. HTo: $>CheckTo SCheckTo # Translate [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Full Name) to [EMAIL PROTECTED] R$* ( $* ) $* $: $1 # Translate Full Name <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> to [EMAIL PROTECTED] R$* < $* > $* $: $2 # Set focus R$* $: <$1> R<$+ @ $+ . $-> $: [EMAIL PROTECTED] R<$+> $: <$1> <$&{client_name}> R<$+> < localhost > $@ OK R<$+> <$*> $: <$1> R<$+> $#error $: "553 Delivery blocked; HTo: specified an invalid address" R<$@> $#error $: "553 Delivery blocked; HTo: specified a null address" Since there's really nothing to be gained by keeping this one rule, that cant be stopped by others, I'll run without it. Thanks again, all who replied. Ken _______________________________________________ NOTE: If there is a disclaimer or other legal boilerplate in the above message, it is NULL AND VOID.
