the document at http://www.iredmail.org/docs/upgrade.ir … 0.9.6.html
states to insert:
"\$banned_namepath_re = new_RE(...." into amavisd config file.

I suspect the backslash should not be there? (with backslash amavisd fails to start)

also there is an "incorrect HELO restriction rule" mentioned, we came from a pretty old iredmail and this rule is not there - is there a full current helo_access.pcre file available?
