Dotted usernames
Zmailer still refuses to deliver messages to local dotted usernames. I have
a lot of users with a dot in his login account. The mailer error returned
is:
----------------------------------------------------------------
In the following message, it appears from the format of certain
addresses that you have attempted to send a message to somebodys
"Real.Name", or alternatively to an USENET newsgroup.
Unfortunately both lookups have failed. fullnames -database didn't
contain attempted Real.Name, nor our copy of active newsgroups
database did have such a newsgroup.
It is a common mistake to write address alike: user.host.domain
when you REALLY wanted it to be: user@host.domain
error: norealname: a.sanjuan
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I don't like to maintain two databases (fullnames and passwd) to map dotted
usernames. With other mailers there is no problems with this kind of
usernames.
