Hey All,

 

I just wanted to post this to the list in case anyone else is seeing
this issue.  I was not receiving email notifications from facebook,
while other users on my server were.  I tracked it down to the CHKUSER
patch not accepting a ~ character in a sender address as valid.  Rather
than edit the source code and recompile, I just disabled the sender
address check system wide.

 

This is what I saw in the qmail smtp log...

 

@400000004937181e39835da4 CHKUSER rejected sender: from
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]::> remote
<mx-out.facebook.com:unknown:69.63.184.101> rcpt <> : invalid sender
address format

address format

<[EMAIL PROTECTED]::> remote
<mx-out.facebook.com:unknown:69.63.184.105> rcpt <> : invalid sender
address format

 

I edited the tcp.smtp and added SENDER_NOCHECK="1" to disable the check.
I guess Blackberry servers also use odd characters fairly commonly.

 

Hope this helps someone else,
