Ok, this comes from 2005 but I'm going through stuff to include in 1.23. The trailing dot is not legal, according to section 4.1.2 of: http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2821.html Path = "<" [ A-d-l ":" ] Mailbox ">" Mailbox = Local-part "@" Domain Domain = (sub-domain 1*("." sub-domain)) / address-literal sub-domain = Let-dig [Ldh-str] - Davide - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
