This happens in the following fields: from, reply-to, alias, bcc. We're in the process of setting up IMP 4.2 therefore we havent been able to test in that version yet.

The purpose of the existing check is to make sure that users can set fake sender addresses. This has nothing to do with recipient addresses.
