Speaking of this patch. I think there is a potential of people being able to harvest e-mail accounts using a dictionary, etc. They can connect up and just validate e-mail addresses with this patch to determine if they are valid or not. This could be a spammers dream come true. I have seen this occur on sendmail servers.

Tonino,
 
 Thanks for the reply. That has fixed the problem. Compiles now, and it works still with
the mysql backend.
 
cheers
