[nflug] strange email problem

[David J. Andruczyk]

Easy,  there's a missing "< around the email address in the logs.  Odds
are her mailer is defining her as  tensminger at tmsi-logistics.com>,
instead of <tensminger at tmsi-logistics.com> causing the error.

I know in yahoo, it tends to add the <> symbols around addresses (I
don't care for that,  but as long as there's a matching closer to the
opener it seems to work OK)
