Well, that is fairly unusual, though I now see that it might be less
rare than I thought in connection with mailing lists. Though in those
cases, the delivery normally _reads_ the file rather than writing to it.

Easy enough to block local parts starting with . in the ACL. What do
other people think? Should I make this change to the default
configuration?
