using single quote around email address.

hi,

Whenever any user sends a mail with a single quote around the email id
eg 'www@xyz.com'. The mail bounces back with the following error

malformed address: '> may not follow <'www@xyz.com

Is there a work around for this problem ? Can anyone point me out to a
specific documentation stating that single quote is an invalid
character in an email id ?


setup: Exim 4.44 on debian 3.1

RFC 2821 / 0821

Apparently <"local-part"@domain> is allowed.
<"local-part@domain"> is not.
