    Hey folks,

    I've noticed in my mail queue over the last month or so, entries that look
    like this:

    DEFA51A26FF 363 Fri Apr 26 11:36:29 chipmy-from-domain.net
                                                               (temporary failure)
                                             "Chip Paswater (E-mail)"fqdn.my-to-domain.com
                                             Chip Paswater (E-mail)fqdn.my-to-domain.com

    And log entries look like:

    postfix/smtpd[24346]: warning: Illegal address syntax from localhost[127.0.0.1] in RCPT command: <Chip Pasw
    ater (E-mail)fqdn.my-to-domain.com>

    I think these are caused by broken outlook clients that are trying to send
    mail to a user from a contact list entry. That's not important though...

    My question is, if it's an illegal address syntax, why does Postfix just
    put it back into the queue? Why not just bounce it?
