I was thinking about this error today and I realized that the reason I don't run into the issue is that I use check_valid_mx for MIMEDefang, not check_valid_email_and_mx. I assumed that Sendmail already does a sender format verification prior. The check_valid_email_and_mx is really for other uses like web forms and such where an ='s would be much more unlikely to be valid.

I've added the ='s anyway but just thought I would point that out.

I admit, this is perhaps outside the rules you made for the check_email_validity function, but I've got a diff if thats any help (I don't think this is a bug,
perhaps something unique with a single system).

Actually, that's fairly common in systems that rewrite the envelope sender for various reasons.
