Help Desk Request: Mail failure - malformed recipient address for escalation emails

Good day all!

I have a issue with escalation emails. 
After we updated to 5.5.xxxx (I can't recall exactly as we are running 6.2 now), every time we get an escalation email it comes with a:

From: Mail Delivery System <Mailer-Daemon@ofmq-kbox.ofmq.com>
Subject: Help Desk Request: Mail failure - malformed recipient address
Body:

A message that you sent contained one or more recipient addresses that were incorrectly constructed:

mcruz@ofmq.com; jslaughter@ofmq.com; tlamb@ofmq.com; mlarkins@ofmq.com; mthomas@ofmq.com: malformed address: ; jslaughter@ofmq.com; tlamb@ofm may not follow mcruz@ofmq.com

This address has been ignored. There were no other addresses in your
message, and so no attempt at delivery was possible.

------ This is a copy of your message, including all the headers. ------

To: mcruz@ofmq.com; jslaughter@ofmq.com; tlamb@ofmq.com; mlarkins@ofmq.com; mthomas@ofmq.com
Subject: [TICK:6805] ESCALATION FW: REQUEST FOR DATA: GAO

But if I just put 1 email in the cc list for the ticket category, it does not send out the mailer-daemon.

Can anyone shine a little light on this?


Thank you.

  • I'll be watching this. I'm having the same issue as well. But not all users and not all the time. I'm having trouble tying it down to one source. - AndrewQ 9 years ago

We had to switch all of our category CC emails to distribution lists on the Exchange Server. It adds some overhead but it was the only solution we could find. Note that I did not contact technical support about this.

  • Chucksteel is correct. I did, however, contact technical support and they acknowledged that this is an issue. Same thing happens if a user enters email addresses in the Ticket CC with a ; instead of a , - h2opolo25 9 years ago
