You should try very hard to have the admin for that domain change the name. Short of success with that, you *can* tailor chkuser to accept additional special characters, but tailoring chkuser is somewhat of a PITA. See http://wiki.qmailtoaster.com/index.php/Chkuser. In chkuser.h you'll want to modify /* #define CHKUSER_ALLOW_SENDER_CHAR_2 '%' */ by uncommenting the #define, and specifying the apostrophe as the special character. I'm not sure how to do that properly in C, but it might be #define CHKUSER_ALLOW_SENDER_CHAR_2 '\'' or #define CHKUSER_ALLOW_SENDER_CHAR_2 '''' Maybe a C guru can help you out on that.
