Problem getting sender (header from)

Hello Manuel,

I got a problem getting the sender (from-field) from a maybe malformed e-mail. Is it possible to extend your MIME-Parser to handle this format?
What would be the best way to send you this e-mail for testing?

The error message is: Warning: Address extraction error from header from: multiple addresses must be separated by commas: at position 1810 line 33 column 63

Thanks a lot in advance!

I need to have an example to see what can be done.

Here is the header row:

From: "Lx-Office -"@ip-10-226-103-83.eu-west-1.compute.internal>User helfen User <[email protected]>

It is a released mail from amavis.

best regards

Well I can make it tolerate the > character and accept it as character separator, but I am not sure if it is a good idea.

Thanks for the reply.

In my case it would be good if the mimeparser tolerates this kind of adresses. Other e-mail clients (Outlook or Zarafa) can handle this address.
In Zarafa it is displayed as:

[email protected]>User

So, I would appreciate it if you can integrate it.

Thanks a lot in advance!

> characters are not allowed in domains, so it is odd that those programs considered that character as part of the e-mail address domain.

Multiple addresses must be separated by comma. But I can make the class tolarate that case ignoring the > character. In that case the parser returns two addresses like this. If it is OK for you, I can publish the fix to handle that case. Just let me know.

array(2) {
[0]=>
array(1) {
["address"]=>
string(55) "Lx-Office [email protected]"
}
[1]=>
array(2) {
["address"]=>
string(17) "[email protected]"
["name"]=>
string(16) "User helfen User"
}
}

Hello Manuel,

this sounds good to me. Please publish this fix - I will test it soon!

Thank you!

OK, I just uploaded the fixed version.

Hello,

the fixed version works well (2 e-mail addresses), but I still get this error message:

Warning: Address extraction warning from header from: multiple addresses must be separated by commas: at position 1810 line 33 column 63

Is it still necessary?

Thanks!

That is just a warning because the address is malformed. The class tolerates many types of malformed messages. That is just one of them. If you do not care, just ignore the warnings.
