That is, it ends the To: line at the first comma. It's easy to see why
from the source, is finds the comma, puts in a null to easily read the
address, but then never puts the comma back in.
Additionally, running ssmtp -t with input like

results in a message being sent to "schneck@math.berkeley.edu",
"@math.berkeley.edu", "cygwin@cygwin.com". That is, when there is a comma
at the end of a line, it still interprets the empty space at the end of
the line as an address. Most smtp servers seem to ignore the invalid
address, but I have had at least one refuse to deliver because of it.
Thank you,
