Cf. section 3.4. "Address Specification" of RFC 2822
<http://www.zvon.org/tmRFC/RFC2822/Output/chapter3.html#sub4>,
and the examples in its section 9.1.3
<http://www.zvon.org/tmRFC/RFC2822/Output/chapter9.html#sub1sub3>.

So, where is the problem?
- Is there a particular SMTP server you cannot use?
- Are there problems with exporting these adresses from the
   addressbook?
- Or what else, specifically?

Best wishes,
