Please advise if you get around to fixing this bug as I class it as a serious
issue.

An instance of bad address resulted in my system sending the problem email to
my uplink who in turn sent it back (he has such software in use) then I send
it
back.


To say that it caused some serious secondary issues is a mild understatement
as
it filled up all available email file extensions i.e., tu0 - 9, a - z.

This caused no additional mail to be added so downlink lost mails & echos.

Similar has occured to one other.

I end up deleting all 0 length files, and asI do not use the system daily can
be a major pain :(
