Hendrik Saly commented on GERONIMO-6533:
----------------------------------------
Here is proposal for fixing this:
https://github.com/salyh/javamailspec/commit/97bd36001ce560c31f241fde37b0ee37732def6e
Although the above mentioned fix proposal fixes the thing in a spec compliant
manner its to be considered as a "breaking" change because it can make stop
working applications which delivering mail to local addresses.
So far a internet address with only a local part ("a" for example) was
considered as correct even in strict mode (which is not rfc822 compliant
because a domain is also needed). Now such an address will be considered as
illegal in strict mode which can be breaking.
