Re: mailutil - "invalid MX-format name"

What version of mailutil are you running?  If you are not running the 
latest version, try the latest version.

Why are you using mx format?  mx is utterly unsupported and has been in 
that state of non-support for 10 years.  If you want a dual-use mailbox 
format, you should use mix which is supported.
