mailfetcherservice AddressException Illegal semicolon

Question

I have some email that are rejected from mailfetcherservice because the addresses are separated with semicolon. As from RFC 6068 addreses should be separated using comma, but Microsoft Outlook could use semicolon if not specified otherwise.

Is there any solution to this issue?

Just to add some more details. The problem is due to mail.jar, a jar that comes from JVM itself, and in particular to InternetAddress.parse(InternetAddress.java:1043). Funny to note the comment before this method refers to it as an "ad-hoc mess". The only solution that I see is to not rely on javax.mail.Message and use something else in MailUtils.hasRecipient(MailUtils.java:398) : Address[] addresses = message.getAllRecipients(); Or to change the recipents list to use the standard comma separator before using it. Anyway thank you Microsoft to not adhere to standards!
