Delivery of Emails fails

Hello there!

I have problem with James regarding the correct delivery of Emails.
The best way is to show it by an example :

- Domain name : mcz ( included in servernames )
- User : floh

the following mail is correctly delivered to user local user floh( floh@mcz.de 
), showing only the important part( as i think ):
...
to:<fl...@mcz.de>
...

the following mails are not correctly delivered to user floh :

1. Email-adress in to: Field without <braces>
...
to:floh@mcz.de
...

2. Mailing list
...
to: user1@domainX.de,
    usee2@domainY.de,
    floh@mcz.de
...

3. Recipient Address not in to , but in Delivered-To
...
Delivered-To:floh@mcz.de  
...
to: mailinglist@dd.er
...

Those Emails (1,2,3) should also be delivered to floh but aren't and i dont 
know why.

I think this could be because of :
- The Emails are incorrect ( Syntax )
- something missing in config.xml, but i think it should normally be handled 
by this processor :

<!-- Is the recipient is for a local account, deliver it locally -->
<mailet match="RecipientIsLocal" class="LocalDelivery"/>

RE: Delivery of Emails fails

Posted by "Noel J. Bergman" <no...@devtech.com>.
The To: header is unimportant.  If it were necessary, you couldn't receive
mail from a mailing list.  The important thing is the RCPT TO that is
provided as part of the SMTP protocol.  It is recorded in the Mail object,
and visible either in the *Object* file if you are using the file
repository, or in the database if you are using JDBC.

If mail is not being recognized, I would take a look to see what was
provided to James by the RCPT TO command.  You can turn on  DEBUG for the
SMTP server in SAR-INF/environment.xml, and the SMTP protocol will be
logged.

If the RCPT TO does not provide the <>, then it is in violation of the RFC.
