squirrelmail, uw-imap, BAD command unrecognized: FROM
Greetings! I'm running Debian sid and have two installs of Squirrelmail with the uw-imapd server (running with plain text authentication via /etc/c-client.cf). Everything seems to work, except that when a user sends mail, the following message appears on the screen: ERROR : Bad or malformed request. Server responded: Received: BAD Command unrecognized: FROM Despite this, the messages are delivered. Any ideas on how to make this go away? $ dpkg --list squirrelmail uw-imapd ii squirrelmail 1.4.0-1 Webmail for nuts ii uw-imapd 2002ddebian1-4 remote mail folder access ser Thanks, Chris -- Christopher S.

Actually, I'm pretty sure this error comes from uw-imap because when you telnet to port 143 and mis-type an IMAP command (or don't know what they are!), you get this same 'BAD command' lingo. And once I upgraded squirrelmail to the version in incoming (1.4.2), it worked fine. What mail server are you using? For the record, I am using postfix. It's logs don't report anything out of the ordinary because the mail is delivered successfully. Squirrelmail just wasn't getting the message that it was sent and was throwing the IMAP error.

As it turns out, a squirrelmail upgrade solved the problem, but it's always good to know multiple ways to approach a problem. Chris -- Christopher S.
