Here is a correct patch that allows for use of the "%" (percent),
or ":" (colon) chars as separators for the [EMAIL PROTECTED] problem
for Netscape Messenger clients in a virtual domain(s) environment.

I have MySQL passwd table entries that contain entries for:
[EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] and
localuser (with no @defaultdomain) all work properly.
The Netscape Messenger clients enter their e-mail account names with
either a ":" (colon) or "%" (percent) in place of a "@" (at sign).
They still list their real e-mail address in the proper location
so that folks can replay to them, etc.
As delivered, authmysqllib.c would discover the missing "@" and assume
that it was a username for the 'DEFAULT_DOMAIN" (see authmysqlrc). This
behavior is correct for the case where there is just a username, and
no @domain...so authmysqllib.c's append_domain function tries to
append the domain name. This would result in something like:
user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
The patch (above) simply checks for the existence of either alternate
separator BEFORE any attempt to look it up in the MySQL databse and
then substitutes an '@' for the ":" or "%" that could be used by
Netscape 4.xx clients.
It works equally well for POP3 and IMAP (as you would expect).
I have *not* even looked at the authpgsqllib.c instance of this; but
the idea is the same...
My aplologies to the list for posting a lame patch previously.
