Summary: LMTPD does not deliver eMails with unencoded
Envelope FROM
Description:
When someone writes with a broken Envelope FROM Line, LMTP does not deliver
the eMail even, when the TO ist correct and does exist, so the mail could
be delivered, while Postfix does accept the message (and it seems that it
replaces the broken characters as ?).

as the Text how to reproduce seems broken, I attacht a (utf-8) Textfile

Perhaps we should simply discard the ValidNetworkChars test.

The LMTP daemon does not advertise any 8-bit features, so your SMTP server
is sending broken LMTP if it thinks it can speak 8-bit without asking.
I definitely would like to change the situation and allow 8-bit (and drop
the network characters thing). 2.3 looks like the right place to land that
change.

so using the dbmail-smtp might fix this Problem?
As it seems, postfix converts the 8 Bit Data into ? like in
Dec 13 14:14:39 medicus postfix/qmgr[18210]: 98A0D184283:
from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, size=376, nrcpt=1 (queue active)
and that breaks the check for an eMail-Address (it stops after r, does not
find the closing > and returns as length of the eMail 0).

Oh, well that sucks. Accepting ? should not be a problem. It's clearly
valid in RFC 2821, Section 3.2.4. Might be a legacy issue with paranoia
over SQL-interpretation ('?' is used to bind variables in query) -- but
we've come a long way since then!

The ValidNetworkChars check is a goner. This will be moot by the time 2.3.3
is out.
