New submission from Célestin Matte <pyt...@cmatte.me>:
When giving recipients in a string format ("email1, email2") to sendmail(), an
email is sent to the first email in the list only.
This is not a bug since the documentation indicates that sendmail() takes
either a list of addresses, or a single address in a string. However, this
error is easy to make since the "To:" field expects a comma-separated series of
email addresses in a string format.
I suggest either that:
- sendmail() accepts a series of emails in a string format: "email1, email2"
for the recipient lists
- sendmail() raises an exception if a series of email in a string format is
detected
Attached is an example script to test confusing behaviour (email is sent to
ema...@mydomain.com only):
