Well, I've never met a single mail server that doesn't like the other
format, but ok, this is what I get on the receiving mail server if I do
as you say and use <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
MAIL FROM:<^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@com>
where the ^@ are ascii NUL characters.
Now I still don't know where to look to find out what's going wrong here :-(
Hope someone can help,
Greetings,
