slad commented on CAMEL-2067:
-----------------------------

Thanks! I agree that having comma or pipe in email is pretty rare. But comma or semi-colon can be part of name. But we can put some validation on our side.

>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: camel-mail
>    Affects Versions: 1.6.1, 2.0.0
>            Reporter: slad
>            Assignee: Claus Ibsen
>            Priority: Trivial
>             Fix For: 1.6.2, 2.1.0

> It looks like there is minor bug in regex used in MailBinding.java, it causes "|" to act as delimiter, splitting email address into 2 parts.  
> For ex: Using email address as - first|last@test.com causes it to split into two parts:
> 1) first
> 2) last@test.com
> "|" is acceptable character in email as per wikipedia [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email_address]. I did not bother to read RFC specification.
> Here is snippet of code causing issue:
>  private static void appendRecipientToMimeMessage(MimeMessage mimeMessage, String type, String recipient)
>         throws MessagingException {
>         // we support that multi recipient can be given as a string seperated by comma or semi colon
>         String[] lines = recipient.split("[,|;]");
>         for (String line : lines) {
> Regex above should either be "[,;]" or ";|,"
> Also, having email addresses separate out by , or ; seems to be issue as it can be part of name. ex: "firstName, I like comma <fi...@test.com>" is valid. Above code will still cause failure for such messages. Can camel support addresses as List/Array rather than comma delimited string?
