That's fair enough actually, as the address you mentioned is NOT RFC-822
compliant. RFC-822 is the original 'Standard For The Format Of ARPA
Internet Text Messages'.

Each atom part of the header body can contain ascii 33-127 excluding ( )
< > @ , ; : \ " . [ ]
and as far as I remember, the German 'sz' character is above 127
decimal.

To be honest, I avoid all NTL servers and prefer the 'direct' approach
anyway.
