Anyone who used this restricted chars patch:

  deny    message       = Restricted characters in address
          domains       = +local_domains
          local_parts   = ^[.] : ^.*[\$@%!/|]

should update to this ruleset :

  deny    message       = Restricted characters in address
          domains       = +local_domains
          local_parts   = ^[.] : ^.*[\$@%!/|] : ^.*x24 : ^.*0.44

as there is a unexpected problem with jeremy's version, which will
reject any x24 in any part of the message.

We are not aware of any exploit succeeding to circumvent the old patched
restricted chars rule yet, but better be safe than sorry!
