Hi Robin,

I did a echo and could see $RECIPIENT has the full email address as the value.
I tried with escape / with no luck.

OS and Version:
Linux servername 2.6.32-358.18.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Aug 2 17:04:38 EDT 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Appreciate your suggestion on this issue.

Thanks,
Pradeep
