Just had a quick look & it looks good, but one question...
Disallowing mailaddresses with '/' in is going to blow away any
gatewayd X.400 adresses = ie
'/I=A/S=Stupid/O=X400/ADMD=Message/PRMD=ButThen/C=TheyAllAre@gateway'
which is the form people here use to get to X.400 addresses.
(I know.. X.400 sucks, but we need to be able to get the header
thru to a machine which understands X.400 & can deal with the
braindamage).
