Re: [Evolution] Another Feature

This is the way all email servers work I believe.  Basically if you send
To: joe, jack, john then it'll send it to whichever domain you are in.
Why should we have to look at joe company com, jack company com,
john company com each time?

I use to force a domain name specified by having a server wide rule of
IF To: is not * * THEN reject with "domain required"  something like
this.

BTW I had to help a user today cuz he was separating names with ;
instead of , using Outlook.  #1 thing drives me nuts is it doesn't show
you the complete address. 

What if I have joe work com and joe home com and all it shows me is
'joe'.  Please if using auto-complete show the complete address "Joe
Blow" <joeb work com>   Netscape shows the complete address btw.
Anyway after he sent it it errored obviously and went into his outbox.
He wasn't able to edit the usernames so basically he had to start from
scratch.

So a little built in email address syntax checking, validating wouldn't
hurt before sending it off to the smtp server.
