Contact form fails using more than one email address

Using the site wide contact form module supplied with drupal core will not allow more than one email address. Below the email box in setup it states you can separate multiple addresses with a comma. "Example: 'webmaster@example.com' or 'sales@example.com,support@example.com'. To specify multiple recipients, separate each e-mail address with a comma."

One email works fine but more than one fails to send to either party. If you add emails with "comma space" it parses the space after you save it. Then it fails to work because it thinks it is a single address. Here is what is in the logs:

Error sending email: "SMTP Error: The following recipients failed: "foo1@domain1.com,foo2@domain2.com" From: "sender@somewhere.com" To: "foo1@domain1.com,foo2@domain2.com".
