Hi Rashmi,
Thanks for your interest:
as follows is info as requested. It is odd because it is exactly same code
as when I use dummy database, which works. I have verified correct mysql
parameters however will look into what the database is actually pulling up
and see if there are problems there.
thanks

block of code around 265:sendtag.java

// check for more than one address
if (ref.indexOf(',') != -1) {
// position of the start of the error inducing address
int pos = ref.substring(0, ae.getPos()).indexOf(',') + 1;
// extract the error inducing address
ref = ref.substring(pos, ref.indexOf(','));
}
