Hole in spfmilter 0.95

If the MAIL From: is quoted, spfmilter-0.95 will not parse it correctly,
resulting in NONE results where it should generate a FAIL.

I'm checking this against other implementations right now, but I expect
this is unique to spfmilter.


Example:

EHLO j.random.example.org
MAIL FROM: "user(_at_)example(_dot_)com"
RCPT TO: user(_at_)example(_dot_)com

Slips through spfmilter.

This will not be a problem for compliant checkers, as HELO will
probably fail, but it could be a problem for anyone using older
implementations.

Lesson: make sure you validate your input.
