Yes. I'm certain ClamAV is behind it; we're using postfix with ClamAV-milter, - the message immediately rejected with the same error message, - the message is also written to the clamav.log, - if you google for the error a short discussion will come up from this lists' archive - you can check it easily by trying to send a message with a recipient containing | through a clamav server of choice the error message is exactly 'WARNING: Suspicious recipient address blocked: ' followed by the address in question, i've tried a number of addresses manually but anything containing | has the same problem. PS. this behaviour didn't occur with the debian-stable version (0.90.1dfsg-3etch10) which has other problems, this problem started appearing when we upgraded to the debian-volatile version (0.92.1~dfsg-1volatile1) _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
