Imail's docu talks about extra long commands (>512 bytes) and not about
malformed recipient addresses. The validation was for having at least 7
characters and one "@" not on first place followed by at least one "."

It's what I've found in the logfile. I don't know if there was any other
special characters.

We're a ISP and there are out dozens of programmers that write ASP, .NET and
PHP scripts for use on our server. I can't control all of this scripts for
correct email validation. 

So I have to disable "Auto deny possible hack attempts" to prevent further
problems?!
