Hello, Thank you for your bug report.
I shall lower the severity of your bug report, since it "causes non-serious data loss" a...@example.org would be parsed as a valid e-mail address if one uses regexp matching. What improvement would you suggest? Should "crontab -e" send an e-mail to recipients stated by MAILTO and wait for a reply? Best regards, Georges.
