  However if you have user addresses of style:
		Firstname.Lastname@host.domain
it can end up yielding
	250 error delivery to norealname for <Firstname.Lastname>
which of course isn't quite what you would expect...

Complete fixup will need also modifications into  smtpserver.c so that
it will report intermediate results (250 / 550 / whatever) as intermediates
(250- / 550- / whatever-) and terminating one in the end.

Also when user has a .forward to a filter, above fix fails with EXPN..

I will try to create complete set of fixes over the weekend
(in between a Radio Amateur Technical Society of Finland confrence
 and whatnot I should really be doing...)

  Default value is "* ve", which also happens without HELO-command..
