  Hello,
While working on a better E-mail validation, i found some cross-site 
vulnerabilities
in the lib/accfuncs.inc. Here is the Patch, witch is fixing this 
problem. I hope, that i found
all relevant parts, because I'm not so familiar with this site. You can 
try it by your own
by setting a user name or e-mail with a single quote. Like:

"foo'><script>alert('XSS');</script>"

I will soon commit a patch for the E-mail validation using this website[1].
The most is working, except an problem with the double quotes.
