This is a trivial source code change; it has been posted several times 
over the years (by me and others). KA9Q4NT included it two and a half 
years ago. I'm amazed it hasn't yet made it into the standard (Demon) 
source code.

Anyway, digging deep into the archive :-) ... 

In the file SMTPSERV.C, in the function validate_sender(), replace

	if (!stricmp (p, sender))

with

	if (wildmat(sender, p, NULLCHARP))


and bingo!
