Good catch on the space - I completely missed that. However, I'm trying to figure how the space got there in the first place. This is an address that originated from the end user's mail application (Outlook Express, if I recall correctly), and the mail application itself should strip trailing spaces.
I'll contact the end user to see if there was something odd they did, however unlikely that seems. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Davide Libenzi > Sent: Saturday, December 08, 2001 16:20 > To: XMail mailing list > Subject: [xmail] Re: Maximum number of tenatives reached > > > On Fri, 7 Dec 2001 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > Davide, > > I too have seen this message appear on occasion.
