Whatever did it, it is apparently a widespread method of re-writing of the
line..
To: nmh-announce: ;;@gmail-imap.l.google.com, address@hidden
Makes me think that a lot of mailservers are canonalizing by adding
'@my.address' to anything that doesn't have an @ on it already.
So they deal OK with the nmh-announce: part, and then the ; standing
by itself gets treated as 'non-alphabetic local mailbox name' and gets
hit with the local server's fqdn....
Ken - do you have handy the To: line *as it left your local machine*?
I suspect the flaky here is very dependent on exact placement of
blanks and other special chars...
Though I have to admit I don't have enough caffeine in hand to
delve into the parse tables as given in the RFCs at the moment...
