Though I don't check sendmail, I found the description in RFC 2821:

>   local-part
>      The maximum total length of a user name or other local-part is 64
>      characters.

So, it should be 64 + 255 + 1 (for @) + 2 (for < and >) = 322.

manu> Sounds fine then. I'll commit that once we'll have found the maximum
manu> length of an e-mail address.

Thanks!

Sincerely,
