Description taviso 2002-03-02 09:30:36 UTC 
Any message with a to/from address in UUCP format get flagged as malformed,
despite being perfectly valid. UUCP addressed messages also bypass
White/Blacklist settings.

Here is the source from a Mailing List message I recently received:
http://taviso.freeshell.org/notspamuucp.txt

As you can see, it wasnt flagged as spam, but only just. ( i get a lot that do
). demthu!securityfocus.com!bugtraq is in my whitelist_to, but uucp bypasses it.

How does this patch look?  It adds checking for bangpath style From and To.

Dan.
