For a mailing list, I get errors like (the xxx are ascii chars replaced by me):

  1      1.38  207.244.124.137 failed after I sent the message./Remote host said: 550 
Syntax error in 'Cc' header: malformed address: "xxx Mack" 
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>/
  1      1.53  212.208.194.252 failed after I sent the message./Remote host said: 550 
Syntax error in 'Cc' header: malformed address: "xxx Mack" 
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>/

It seems that hosts (mainly running EXIM) are parsing messages and rejecting non 
rfc822-compliant messages. Other message have been rejected because of 
an incorrectly formatted From: header, others because they contain chars > 127 (e.g. 
iso-8859-1 umlauts).

To me this seems brain-dead, but maybe that's a lack of understanding on my part. Are 
there any redeeming features to this type of activity?

Enlightenment highly appreciated.
