CVS: tmda/TMDA ChangeLog,1.287,1.288 Util.py,1.106,1.107

Update of /cvsroot/tmda/tmda/TMDA
In directory sc8-pr-cvs1:/tmp/cvs-serv2251/TMDA

Modified Files:
	ChangeLog Util.py 
Log Message:
Change default fallback value to an empty string instead of 'Jane Doe'
when no real fullname can be determined.  An empty string will result
in just the e-mail address being used in an auto-response, which is
better than a bogus fullname for environments where /etc/passwd isn't
relevant, or where the fullname isn't recorded in /etc/passwd.
