Default Semicolon at end of email list causes email to fail

We just migrated to CheckBox and some completion event emails are not being sent.

It seems that if the FROM: TO:, or BCC: email address field ends with a semicolon, the entire email will fail. None will be sent to anyone. There is no error message or warning of this, so you’d only know it if the email was missed.

Is this a bug in CheckBox? Or was Ultimate Survey less fussy than Checkbox?

Example of BAD, will fail:
mickey.mouse@email.com;minnie.mouse@email.com;
underdog@email.com;

Example of GOOD, will succeed:
micky.mouse@email.com;minnie.mouse@email.com
underdog@email.com

Am I now forced to find all the instances in the database of semicolons at the end of emails and fixing them? This is not a happy prospect, plus it's hard to navigate this new and huge database.
