Hi,

Actually I didn't pay enough attention to your error message (and you
neither as it seems :)). holzgraefe is resolved to a local user which
apparently isn't able to receive mails.
This behaviour is quite weird, why should someome choose "," as a
delimiter for users? ok, ok it's mentioned in the manual, but why
doesn't PHP just parse out all mail addresses? Everything containing a
@ where the boundaries are either whitespace or obvious characters
such as "<" and ">" ?
Ah, and did I mention that PHP on Windows behave quite oddly? Probably
because it connects directly to the SMTP server rather than piping to
sendmail/qmail.
Is this now a "feature" or a bug?
Kind Regards,
Daniel Lorch
