Jeremy,

you should add also CHKUSER_ENABLE_NULL_SENDER.

When CHKUSER_SENDER_FORMAT or CHKUSER_SENDER_MX are defined, CHKUSER_ENABLE_NULL_SENDER will exclude NULL SENDERS from those checkings.

This is the new default in the last distributions, after CHKUSER_ENABLE_NULL_SENDER has been added:

        CHKUSER_SENDER_FORMAT enabled
        CHKUSER_SENDER_MX enabled
        CHKUSER_ENABLE_NULL_SENDER enabled

Sorry, I realized too late that CHKUSER_ENABLE_NULL_SENDER_WITH_TCPREMOTEHOST feature, far from being a valid intruders rejection, has made too many troubles. I tried to fix the situation introducing CHKUSER_ENABLE_NULL_SENDER.

Let me know of any better explanation in the documentation or FAQ.

Regards,

Tonino

hmm.. even commenting it out it appears that I am not able to receive bounce
messages.  This is very bad.
