Hi gang,

I want Courier to reject all mail with an empty return address (some customers of ours use terribly broken, misconfigured mail clients). Currently, my installation of Courier accepts empty return addresses:

# telnet localhost smtp Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. 220 a.mx.m2ic.net ESMTP helo localhost 250-a.mx.m2ic.net Ok. 250-AUTH LOGIN CRAM-MD5 250-AUTH=LOGIN CRAM-MD5 X-NETSCAPE-HAS-BUGS 250-XVERP=Courier 250-XEXDATA 250-XSECURITY=NONE,STARTTLS 250-PIPELINING 250-8BITMIME 250-SIZE 250 DSN mail from: <> 250 Ok.

The obvious solution would be to add a `badfrom' entry to the bofh configuration file, but what is the syntax for an empty string?

Or is there another way to achieve this?

Thanks in advance,

--Timo
