Hello All. I have a problem on a server running FreeBSD 5.2.1 and sendmail 8.12.10 Whenever I send to multiple users delimited by semicolon I get a returned message with the following error: The original message was received at Tue, 31 Jan 2006 16:12:39 -0500 (EST) from david@localhost ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ----- d@domain.net; david@domain.net ----- Transcript of session follows ----- 553 5.1.3 d@domain.net; david@domain.net... Invalid route address The only way I can send to multiple users is by using a comma to separate the addresses. I need to be able to use semicolons. Any suggestions? Thank you!

Yes, that is the correct syntax. > I need to be able to use semicolons. Why on earth would you need to do that? Does the answer change if you throw away the M$ crap that displays multiple addresses with an unusable syntax? --Per Hedeland per@hedeland.org
