[imp] Invalid mailbox list warning message

[Patrick Timmons]

Hi.

This message comes (AFAIK) from the imap client. We use imap 4.7. It comes from
subroutine rfc822_parse_adrlist() which is called to parse the From:, To:, Cc:
and Bcc: fields of the enveloppe. According to the sources, it has nothing to do
with the mailbox list of your user. The ' (errflg=...' part is added to the
message by some routine in php_imap.c (php-4.0.3).

You can apply this 'patch' to log the contents of the recepient list before it
is parsed to see if there is an error in one of the recepient's address.
