Spaces in addresses are allowed, but not in eMail addresses :-))
You may convince mutt to send an e-mail to an address with spaces, but
sendmail/exim/etc. will refuse it. In that case (from above) you will
get 2 errors that kathy@localhost and and@localhost doesn't exist. You
may get the third error message that dave@xxxxxxx doesn't exist if
indeed doesn't exist.
I advice to send an e-mail to the address without spaces or/and the
the address with spaces replaced by underscore (_). And if all
failled, maybe with dash (-).
