CORRECTION TO THE PREVIOUS MESSAGE.
CHKUSER_ENABLE_NULL_SENDER is in 2.0.7.
This version may be considered stable, despite of its "devel" attribute.
On next days I'll publish a 2.0.8 "release", and update online documentation. 2.0.8 that will probably be the definitive stable chkuser, with the most of RFC compliance.
One general question, before I publish 2.0.8:
Does it make sense to have format checking enabled as default?
My standard checking excludes a lot of unusual characters (like "&"), that could instead be accepted, as RFC has a wider set enabled.
My system logs show no rejection of "honest addresses", while all rejected senders are "wrong/illegal" names.
Which are your opinions on format checking?

Tonino

Jeremy,
you should add also CHKUSER_ENABLE_NULL_SENDER.
When CHKUSER_SENDER_FORMAT or CHKUSER_SENDER_MX are defined, CHKUSER_ENABLE_NULL_SENDER will exclude NULL SENDERS from those checkings.
This is the new default in the last distributions, after CHKUSER_ENABLE_NULL_SENDER has been added:
CHKUSER_SENDER_FORMAT enabled CHKUSER_SENDER_MX enabled CHKUSER_ENABLE_NULL_SENDER enabled
Sorry, I realized too late that CHKUSER_ENABLE_NULL_SENDER_WITH_TCPREMOTEHOST feature, far from being a valid intruders rejection, has made too many troubles. I tried to fix the situation introducing CHKUSER_ENABLE_NULL_SENDER.
Let me know of any better explanation in the documentation or FAQ.
Regards,
Tonino

hmm.. even commenting it out it appears that I am not able to receive bounce messages. This is very bad.
