I cannot decide whose fault it is, mutt or qmail, but I cannot send messages to addresses written in the form "foobar"@thales.memphis.edu My reading of rfc822 is that such a message should be dropped into foobar's mailbox on thales.memphis.edu. So I just do echo | mutt '"foobar"@thales.memphis.edu' and I get, in the bounce, Hi. This is the qmail-send program at thales.memphis.edu. I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses. This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out. <"foobar"@thales.memphis.edu>: Sorry, no mailbox here by that name. (#5.1.1) --- Below this line is a copy of the message. Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Received: (qmail 18112 invoked by uid 502); 30 Nov 2000 21:18:39 -0000 Date: Thu, 30 Nov 2000 15:18:39 -0600 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: "foobar"@thales.memphis.edu Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.2.5i pine behaves similarly, but when I use qmail-inject, it removes the quotes around foobar before sending the message. Finally, I remark that specifying "foobar"@thales.memphis.edu during an smtp conversation as `rcpt to:' is fine; the quotes get removed. My impression is that mutt just simply puts <> around the address without removing the quotes ""---hence creating an invalid address in case of "foobar"@thales.memphis.edu.
