the email alias is on Exchange and I am trying to send an email to the alias.
An example of the alias is:
IT FOOBAR-TESTING@foo.com

Re: how to deal with Spaces in an email address
sendmail sees the spaces as white space and inserts a comma. if i add the sendmail flag -oobool (to start using old style headers) then I can quote the word address and that is fine, but If i use the sendmail with a -v i see that the space is getting translated to a period.
sendmail -v -oobool "IT FOOBAR-TESTING@foo.com" comes out to be IT.FOOBAR-TESTING@foo.com

Re: how to deal with Spaces in an email address
one for "IT\" and one for "FOOBAR-TESTING"
this to me is a perplexing problem, and probably a sendmail configuration issue.

Re: how to deal with Spaces in an email address
I have tried quoting the whole address with single and double quotes. I have tried quoting the title infront of the @ with both single and double quotes. The same strange behavior, it is as if sendmail is ignoring the quotation marks unless i put the -oobool option on, and then the space is replaced with a period.

Solutionhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-mail_address
If it's correct, then a SPACE is not a valid character for an email address. It points to RFC 2822 which for me is very difficult to read. But if the wikpedia summary is accurate, then a space is not a valid character to use, and you should get the email aliases changed to use valid characters.

http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc822.html
It explains the replacement of . for spaces in section 6.2.

Re: how to deal with Spaces in an email address
space SHOULD NOT be used around the "@" in the addr-spec.
The sendmail.cf seems to work even though the mail is rejectd as unknow sender. However I think i shall make the network folks conform to the standards.
Thanks for All the help

Re: how to deal with Spaces in an email address
this comes from the RFC2822, I think i will make the Microsoft Exchange folks comply with the standard.
Thanks Again for the quick responses
