Does the webmail respect the standards?
I just sent a (longish) email via Zen webmail to (symbolically):

To: Firstname Lastname <user1@some.dom.ain>
Cc: user2@abc.def.gh, user3@stu.vwx.yz

and when I clicked "Send" I immediately got a response

"Error ... recipient address must contain a domain ..."

and that was all -- I did not even get my message bounced back to my inbox.

Surely the above addresses are all canonically correct? I don't have any problems sending to such addresses from my normal email client (this was an emergency, since my usual mail server is down at the moment and to get a reply I have to mail from my webmail).

Unfortunately, I didn't copy the text of my email to a backup file while I was writing it, so will have to start again ...

Any comments?
Thanks.

Ok, that error message was returned from mailhost.zen.co.uk which ought to mean that there isn't a fault with the webmail system, ie webmail itself didn't produce that error. The only thing I can consider is that you'd accidentally put a comma rather than a dot in the CC: list, so it maybe saw something like the equivalent of:

    user2@abc.def, gh, user3@stu.vwx.yz 

If you want to PM me the real addresses and a rough time I'll have a look into it just to be sure.
