The problem is:

Send mail to the list allusers at domain.com from a mail account that is admsistinf at domain.com.

Admsist at dap.es account is configured in Thunderbird with the option name as Management Information Systems (which in your account would be Mark Sapiro).

This works from squirrelmail, but since thunderbird fails.

However, if I set the name shorter, for example, systems management. Squirrelmail works both as thunderbird.

Also, tell you that this only occurs when a list command, as if I send a personal email from admsist at domain.com (named as Management of Information Systems) user1 at domain.com another user, it works fine.

Control occurs only when a mailing list.
