For the record, Alex's email address, *is* valid per RFC822. The comma is
contained inside a quoted text block. Relevant specs on it:
specials = "(" / ")" / "<" / ">" / "@" ; Must be in quoted-
/ "," / ";" / ":" / "\" / <"> ; string, to use
/ "." / "[" / "]" ; within a word.
quoted-string = <"> *(qtext/quoted-pair) <">; Regular qtext or
; quoted chars.
qtext = <any CHAR excepting <">, ; => may be folded
"\" & CR, and including

Then I'd recommend asking gmx.net why their mail server is barfing on
valid mail headers.
