From address with dot in realname not parsed correctly
Last modified: 2009-04-20 13:47:15 UTC
I have a message showing up as From: LWN.netW <eekly Notification lwn@lwn.net> although the message source has From: LWN.net Weekly Notification <lwn@lwn.net> Here is the full set of headers except for X-Evolution-Source. Return-path: <corbet@lwn.net> Envelope-to: ted@midg3t.net Delivery-date: Thu, 13 Dec 2007 13:09:54 +1000 Received: from rs.lwn.net ([66.216.68.48] helo=lwn.net) by erwin.midg3t.net with smtp (Exim 4.63) (envelope-from <corbet@lwn.net>) id 1J2eSP-0000Gy-4E for ted@midg3t.net; Thu, 13 Dec 2007 13:09:53 +1000 Received: (qmail 3698 invoked by uid 1014); 13 Dec 2007 03:12:11 -0000 Date: 13 Dec 2007 03:12:11 -0000 Message-ID: <20071213031211.3697.qmail@lwn.net> To: ted@midg3t.net From: LWN.net Weekly Notification <lwn@lwn.net> Subject: LWN.net Weekly Edition for December 13, 2007 available Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso8859-1 MIME-Version: 1.0
this is actually a duplicate (unfortunately don't know the original bug # off the top of my head, maybe Andre can find it?) the problem is that "LWN.net Weekly Notification" is not quoted in the address field as it should be (because of the '.', not the '.net') and the parser somehow breaks.
Could you point out where I might find the code that does that parsing? I had a look but didn't find it.
Thanks for the bug report. This particular bug has already been reported into our bug tracking system, but please feel free to report any further bugs you find. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 347520 ***
