You want qmail to reject a message if the recipient has a '%' in the address,
and you want it to do this because sendmail, which has no relation to qmail,
has in the past treated '%' specially and could be tricked into relaying mail
addressed this way.
The fact of the matter is that qmail isn't susceptible to being tricked this
way, so there's no reason to treat '%' differently than any other character. We
shouldn't reject mail with a '%' in the address any more than we should reject
mail with a 't' in the address.
By the way, qmail doesn't fail the RSS and RBL tests, because the mail is never
relayed. That's the test.
