 Anyone know how to trim any character that's not a letter, number,
fullstop, or space from a certain column, in a certain MySQL table ? Turns
out that silly people have been storing their "fullname" in the database
of my email system, with colons, commas etc. You have no idea how much
that upsets Qmail and sendmail. I've stuck some javascript in to stop
people entering it...but that's not much good for the 5000 users that
already could have done it...
