Self-explanatory, I hope (note the period on the end of the username);
sieve/pigeonhole does not allow you to have senders which end with a
period, which means that any UNIX users with such usernames who send
mail have it rejected by sieve:
# useradd testuser.
# su - testuser.
$ mail da...@example.com -s 'testing'
123
.
[testuser.@levi ~]$ logout
# less /var/log/maillog
Aug 22 07:50:56 levi dovecot: lda(da...@example.com): Error: sieve:
envelope sender address 'testus...@myhost.example.com' is unparsable
Versions:
dovecot-pigeonhole-0.2.6-21.el5
dovecot-managesieve-0.2.6-21.el5
dovecot-2.0.18-1_134.el5
Why would anyone have a UNIX username ending in a period? For one, web
hosting companies may use your domain name as your username - but be
subject to a 32-character limit, so your domain name gets truncated.
