   <title>When trying to send a message to an address that has a dot i</title> 
   <description>When trying to send a message to an address that has a dot in the name part which is not followed by a blank I get a address validation error:



e.g. &quot;a.a.a&quot; &lt;nospam@tugraz.at&gt;



There was an error sending your message: Validation failed for: a.a.a &lt;nospam@tugraz.at&gt;



This should not happen, there is nothing wrong with the address.



&quot;a.a.a d&quot; &lt;nospam@tugraz.at&gt; -&gt; works

&quot;a.a.a d.d&quot; &lt;nospam@tugraz.at&gt; -&gt; works 

&quot;a. a.&quot; &lt;nospam@tugraz.at&gt; -&gt; works</description>

FWIW, I don&#039;t see this with PEAR::Mail from CVS (1.2.0a2+).  This might have fixed things:

Strange, it doesn&#039;t work here.

&quot;a.a&quot; nospam@tugraz.at -&gt; works

&quot;a.a&quot; &lt;nospam@tugraz.at&gt; -&gt; fails

Right, and it is good to know that you are one of the authors of that package ;-)</description>

Still no reason not to use the correct bug tracker. Which this turned out to be in this case, but the point remains.</description>
