Description

After upgrading our redmine installation to trunk 0.95 we noticed that notification emails were no longer sent.
Our email (including redmine notifications) is handled by an exchange server.
When testing email notifications the server returns the following error (which appears in a red bar at the top of the page):
An error occurred while sending mail (501 5.5.4 Invalid Address )
(notice the trailing space before the closing paren where I assume the invalid email address should appear).

I commented the line
config.action_mailer.logger = nil
in the file /config/environments/production.rb

That produces the following in production.log when the test email is sent (again notice the missing email address).

Processing AdminController#test_email (for 10.1.3.5 at 2010-07-02 11:33:19) [GET]

Completed in 5217ms (DB: 6) | 302 Found [http://support.sharecompany.nl/admin/test_email]

I assume somehow redmine tries to send an email but omits the to email address.

Our old installation (0.84), which is still working (I upgraded a copy of files and db) still sends emails correctly.
The config for both instances is identical, both email configuration and users.

The only difference I can see apart from the redmine version is file ownership which differs for both installations, but does not seem to affect any other aspect of redmine's operation. Both users are members of the admin group.
