[Bug 3883] New: Spamcop reporting uses whole GECOS field, not just the name

           Summary: Spamcop reporting uses whole GECOS field, not just the
                    name
           Product: Spamassassin
           Version: 3.0.0
          Platform: SGI
        OS/Version: IRIX
            Status: NEW
          Severity: trivial
          Priority: P5
         Component: spamassassin
        AssignedTo: dev@spamassassin.apache.org
        ReportedBy: jouni.seppanen@gmail.com


I have set
spamcop_to_address   submit.XXXXXXX@spam.spamcop.net
spamcop_from_address jouni.seppanen@XXXXX.example
in my user_prefs, and "spamassassin -r" seems to work nicely. However, from the
Spamcop auto-ack, it looks like Spamassassin is sending my office and phone
numbers to Spamcop:
From: "Jouni Seppanen,B329,6214,050-524-XXXX" <jo...@XXXXX.example>
I don't think Spamcop is showing this address to anyone, so this is just
cosmetic assuming everyone trusts Spamcop.

I would suggest to either use only spamcop_from_address on the From: line, or to
use only the part of GECOS that precedes the first comma. I believe the
comma-delimited subfields are fairly standard across Unixish systems. (Also, to
get into the really obscure details, does Spamassassin handle & in GECOS correctly?)
