Thanks for your help on this thread. Indeed it is normally Postfix that cleans such malformed addresses, so these never reach amavisd-new on normal setups. It is indeed a problem if this cleaning step is omitted by Postfix, as currently amavisd-new keeps all addresses internally in non-quoted form, so <"[EMAIL PROTECTED]"> is undistinguishable from <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, which has the consequences as reported. Changing the internal form to avoid losing information requires a nontrivial modification to the code and is on a TO-DO list. Luckily in a normal Postfix stup this is not a problem, unless Postfix cleaning steps and sender verification steps are disabled. I would recommend adding the following restrictions: reject_non_fqdn_sender reject_unknown_sender_domain and also a global setting: strict_rfc821_envelopes = yes which rejects sender addresses such as <""@yahoo.com> and <@yahoo.com> straight away.
