stmp rcpt to: with multiple destination recipients in 'rcpto to:'

Using this iplanet version:
iPlanet Messaging Server 5.2 HotFix 2.10 (built Dec 26 2005)
I'm able to send emails to multiple destinations in 'rcpt to:' using comma as separator. I've read this isn't rfc822 compliant.
Now we are migrating to jes version:
Sun Java(tm) System Messaging Server 6.2-4.03 (built Sep 22 2005)
libimta.so 6.2-4.03 (built 04:37:42, Sep 22 2005)
and some scripts developed with the previous iplanet version that used to send email to multiple destinations using just one rcpt to: line doesn't work. I know this is what rfc822 says but I wonder if there's any way to reproduce the smtp 5.2 behaviour since modifying the scripts would be very time consuming.
Example:
[smtp1]:/# telnet localhost 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 smtp1.domain.net -- Server ESMTP (iPlanet Messaging Server 5.2 HotFix 2.10 (built Dec 26 2005))
