invoke a policy. there are examples and usable methods already in
policy.conf (2.x) and policy.d/* (3.x) - eg filter_username 
that you can use/modify.

note that the above example quoted wont do what you expect...it will
reject ANY user-name that contains a space anywhere - you may need to
use some more regex to match whether space is at the END or BEGINNING
of the attribute eg (quick, nasty example)

if ( ("%{User-Name}" =~ / $/) || ("%{User-Name}" =~ /^ /) ){
       reject
 }

note...i said quick nasty example. this isnt the best regex. ;-)
