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…

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,

I'd sure like to see these special characters allowed by the stock
toaster. They have been a PITA for quite some time now, and I don't
think that allowing them would pose any type of problem. If someone
(EE/Jake) ventures to do this, please check with the list to see which
characters various folks have needed to add.
FWIW, I really dislike the practice of having to edit the tcp.smtp file.
Doesn't seem very secure to me.
