-=head1 SYNOPSIS
-
-This plugin checks the badrcptto_patterns config. This allows
-special patterns to be denied (e.g. percent hack, bangs, 
-double ats).
-
-=head1 CONFIG
-
-config/badrcptto_patterns
-
-Patterns are stored in the format pattern\sresponse, where pattern
-is a Perl pattern expression. Don't forget to anchor the pattern if
-you want to restrict it from matching anywhere in the string.
-
-qpsmtpd already ensures that the address contains an @, with something
-to the left and right of the @.

-Copyright 2005 Gordon Rowell <gordonr@gormand.com.au>

-This software is free software and may be distributed under the same
-terms as qpsmtpd itself.
