A damned typing error in chkuser.c gives compile error when #define
CHKUSER_STARTING_VARIABLE is defined.
You may download 2.0.8a, or change, in chkuser.c, this line:
if (strùcasecmp(starting_string, "ALWAYS") == 0) {
to
if (strcasecmp(starting_string, "ALWAYS") == 0) {
Sorry for any inconvenience.

chkuser 2.0.8 has been released,
and is available at
www.interazioni.it/opensource.
As usual, this version has been tested and is now working on my
production systems since some weeks.
This version, basically:
freeze
all important changes in 2.0.7 (closing DB connections among all)
is
more RFC compliant (NULL SENDER is now ALWAYS accepted, and all FORMAT
and MX checking defines are OFF by default)
cleans
some small bugs.
It has been released as complete "release" package, and as
"update" of previous installed versions (from 2.0.5 to
2.0.7).
Additional note:
I put on the site a small script displaying chkuser activity.
On one of my systems, I defined acceptance limits for existing (limit is
50) and wrong (limit is 5) users.
On that system, I'm facing each day several attacks, and these acceptance
limits help me rejecting them.
They are also suggesting me to implement additional features for
rejecting those IP.
Any comment on this topic is welcomed.
