Thanks for the tip. I got the script working now, it was a bit weird.
The output yielded

mailaddr='\''george@xxxxxxxxxxxx'\''
sender='\''George H'\''

++ mailaddr=george@xxxxxxxxxxxx
++ sender='George H'

And what actually worked in the jobcontrol script was

case "$mailaddr" in
     'george@xxxxxxxxxxxx') echo "Modem: ttyS0";;
     'faxadmin@xxxxxxxxxxxx') echo "Modem: ttyS1";;
     *) echo "Modem: any";;
esac

Adding the single quotes made the difference.
Thanks
