Title:
  When handling bounce emails, some SMTP servers don't like the /
  character

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  This is present in /lib/user.php, function
  generate_email_processing_address, the problem occurs when a certain
  userid, say 38910 is used which produces a base64 encoding with a / in
  it.

  Postfix (and other SMTP servers) don't like this in the extension part
  of an email address. [1]

  The solution would be to change the / character for another valid
  email address character that isn't in the base 64 encoding.
