[vchkpw] chkuser 2.0.8 released

[tonix (Antonio Nati)]

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.
