Am I am correct in assuming the comma does not play any role, but the
space does ? i.e. you could have done as well
MAILTO="apenwarr-survey at debian.org xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx at freenet.de"
and get the same result ?

So to summary, you would like we remove the quote around $MAILTO
on the ground email addresses cannot contain spaces and this would
allow MAILTO to be set to several addresses as in
MAILTO="a at b c at d e at f"
Would that work for both ssmtp and courrier-mta ?
Am I correct ?
Thanks for using popularity-contest,
