Giving this more thought, an apostrophe is valid in an eMail username, but
it isn't a valid character in a fqdn.  So an address like

'[EMAIL PROTECTED]'  should be invalidated as domain.com' can't be a valid
FQDN.

However, '[EMAIL PROTECTED] should be valid.

What I'd like to do is remove the outside most "pairs" of apostrophe's.  The
logic being that the trailing apostrophe would cause the message to be
bounced anyhow.

2nd choice would be to out-right remove the address with a trailing
apostrophe, as they won't be delivered anyhow.  Send a non-delivery notice
on that, and at least the bad eMail won't get perpetrated to the next
reply-all.
