Problems with quoted email addresses.

[Dean Michaels <dean@interdynamix.com>]

If incoming mail is addressed to <" username"@localdomain.net>,
and username (without the leading space) is a valid ID, the
message passes through and ends up in a file
called '/var/mail/ username'.

It ends up that we have about 10-15 files in our /var/mail
that all begin with space characters. Any quick ideas on how
to prevent this?

With the quotes, <" username"@localdomain.net> should not be
a valid mailbox.

example follows. I'm running a very stock version of .cf files.
Also note the errors after the RCPT TO: line in the example.

/var/mail> telnet localhost smtp

                                            note the extra space

Anyone have a quick fix?
