If the number of .QCF / .QDF files isn't so big you can just open them in Notepad (or any word processor program) to find the recipient address. If there are many files you could probably use the built-in search in Windows to search for the address in the files.

Email addresses are not case sensitive, so web.ES is an acceptable form (assuming that the domain is called web.es, of course). webES, on the other hand, is erroneous.

If these are proper messages and not spam (that frequently contain strange addresses) it could be that when replying to messages some mail clients misinterpret the sender information in the original message and create a malformed To header.

Hello,

I detect a garbled email in log from smtp client. The Mercury/32 v4.72 sent the mail to the garbled email in a endless loop (over thousand). Can I the garbled email remove from Mercury?

I'm not sure I understand exactly what happened here, but if there is some loop going on you can close down Mercury, check the queue directory (all files there are text files that can be opened in Notepad) and delete the .QCF/.QDF files that are part of the loop. If the loop was caused by some forwarding rule or auto-reply you may need to review that as well.

Hello,

very thank for your answer. I has again now the problem with an another mercury instance on another machine. I do not know how the .QCF / .QDF find files that contains the malformed email address. Therefore I have deleted all files in the queue directory. This deletion was the mercury clean. The malformed email address has the following structure: <name>@domainES or <name>@domain.ES. Example: wolfram.hubert@webES or wolfram.hubert@web.ES

Where can thus come from a malformed address?
