malformed e-mail address

[jeduardo]

Hi,

When a user put a malformed address like:

to: "John Smith" <jsmith@domain.com

my zimbra server (5.0.12 open source) show a error message (An invalid request was made.), i want to know if this error occurs on other versions or just in 5.0.12

thanks.

Welcome to the forums

That will cause a error on most MTAs as it is a non RFC compliant email address due to the missing right close bracket.

Thank you for your reply,

I see, if a user save this e-mail as draft, the webclient correct automatically the address, is worth to post in bugzilla for a correction? You know how users are, they cannot find what's wrong.

thanks,

I had a user with the same problem so the end user has some incorrect/invalid syntax in his email address as the previous user posted correct?

Thank you
