Subject: [exim] single quote in MAIL From: not refused by Exim
Hi Exim users,

I just found a log entry, where $sender_address contained something like
    de'an@???
in acl_check_mail.
Obviously MySQL rejected my query containing
    'de'an@???'
.
Is my assumption, Exim 4.41 checks sender addresses for valid 2822 
syntax
before putting them into $sender_address, wrong?
Should I run it myself through
    ${address:<string>}
before doing the query?


I'm new to the list, sorry if this has been asked earlier.

Any advice welcome,
Axel
