vaildation email address

Post by wkuypers »

New issue with validation. When the emailaddress is just a "=", it says it is unable to validate the address (see below). It should reject the message right away because the address is invalid.

Thanks.

Thanks; we're starting to see more invalid address slip through lately, so we'll add a syntax check in the filter core itself. It's probably a wave of broken spambots.

The actual address turned out to be "= <mafecoconsohob@xxxxxx.org", which is quite invalid. You shouldn't see this problem again since we're now doing a stricter check on both the sender and recipient addresses.
