I've installed it on our main server and one problem I spotted right off
is with the new HELO verify code. Unfortunately, a huge number of pc's
seem to be configured with the invalid character _ in their names.
Personally I've always wondered why this is an invalid character, and
the reality now is that it has been a very common word separator in the
PC world for years, so I've added that character to the test for
acceptable separators in smtp_in.c.
