! After a conversation with Antonio Maniero (also subscriber of the
dev-list), we detected some trouble with hb_sendmail() under some
conditions:
EXIM servers refuse the HELO/EHLO greeting that doesn't conform to
RFC2821, so when one try to autenticate with username containing an @
or any other character that is not allowed in FQDNs, the server
refuses to proceed. Many SMTP servers, (EG: Google ones) are more
tolerant, so I believe that this helped the problem gets unnoticed.
The patch introduces a new parameter, preserving backward
compatibility and at the same time fixing the @ problem, even in
unmodified code that doesn't provide the extra parameter (as we
removed the cUser from the HELO string, that is causing trouble with
EXIM. Anyway, these strings would be accepted only by tolerant
servers, so the correct one should cause no problem at all).
