I had a problem with MailTool ignoring addresses that contained "/" characters,
such as those used to direct mail into X.400 systems, eg.
/G=CUSTOMER/S=SERVICE/O=CUST.SERVICE/@telememo.au
I reported this to Sun Australia who provided me with a temporary
patched version within 3 days, and have just recently provided my
with an official patch. It is available via anonymous ftp from
aarnet.edu.au as pub/misc/100544-01.tar.Z
The README file is attached.
Many thanks to Sun for resolving this so quickly.
