Hello Sven and all,

I was actually monitoring that from work, great that you tested and
reported about this!
I have been looking through the logs on my email server and I can
confirm that there is
a problem here. Here is a part of the log from the mail server:

The whole message is not passed on as the from email address is looking
strange indeed.
Also, I think it may have selected the wrong call as originator.

But, what should the server do if it receives a pskaprs message
originating from
a callsign not in the local user database? Should we create a local
address somehow?
And yes, dl6sva is not in the local user database. 

So, there is a problem here and I believe most email servers will behave
the same way
so this could affect all servers. The issue of passing email from an
unknown source certainly
does, perhaps we should have a pskmailrc.pl setting where that can be
turned off?
