Messages containing leading whitespace in the recipient address are
rejected.
Example:
Jan 22 08:32:41 vps10 postfix/smtpd[5937]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from
smtpout.eastlink.ca[24.222.0.30]: 550 5.1.1 < [email protected]>:
Recipient address rejected: User unknown in virtual alias table;
from=<[email protected]> to=< [email protected]> proto=ESMTP
helo=<mta03.eastlink.ca>
[email protected] is a legitimate and functioning mail account.
I'm guessing that the sender has a bad address book entry, like "
[email protected]" -- a leading space before the address.
Is there a good reason why Postfix doesn't simply ignore a leading space
like this?
Is there something I can do to avoid these rejections (other than the
obvious -- get [email protected] to fix his address book)?
Thanks.
