PM08670: INVALID EMAIL HEADER (RFC 2822 VIOLATION) WHEN SENDING EMAIL TO LDAP OR ADS GROUP

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Cognos sends the reports OK but every user receives and
  additional message from the internal system (Duplicate header
  field: "To") when sending an email to an ADS or LDAP group as
  recipient. It seems that the "To" field is duplicated in the
  SMTP message send out by Cognos.
  
  Duplicate Header Field:
  
  The RFC 2822 standard specifies rules for forming internet
  messages.
  Section '3.6. Field definitions' specifies that certain header
  fields
  must not occur more than once in a message header.
