Mail is undeliverable. I receive a reply "Returned mail: user unknown" when
sending to frequent recipients. However, the address listed as the recipient of
the two mails that I sent was not one that I sent it to. The listed address on
the return notice was [e-mail]. That is not even close to the addresses
that I sent the e-mails to.   

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. entered the "To" address
2. typed message
3. hit "send"

Actual Results:  
I received the reply "Returned mail: user unknown"

Expected Results:  
Delivered the mail.

I was able to e-mail bugzilla to obtain a password. I was also able to
successfully send mail to myself. One address that I tried to send mail to was
my office, a government agency and the other was to an address using a wireless
service.

Are you sure that the returned messages was sent by you and is not a spam/virus
e-mail to a random/wrong address with a faked sender (your address)?

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
