[Dovecot] Address extensions
Hi guys,
I'm trying to set up in-mailbox routing for messages using the +
delimiter. The server runs postfix and dovecot 1.2.15.
I have re-defined the delivery service in master.cf as -f ${sender} -d
${user}@${nexthop} -n -m INBOX.${extension} (server was formerly courier)
but the routing only works when the destination folder has no uppercase
characters. Folder1 doesn't deliver correctly while folder2 does.
What am I doing wrong?
Kurt

The upper case parts are left intact only for human beings to read. That is very wrong. Email address local-parts MUST be treated as case-sensitive in SMTP because historically many hosts (including most systems resembling Unix) have treated usernames as case-sensitive and used local-parts that map to directories on case-sensitive filesystems. So RFC's 821, 822, 2821, and 5321 all explicitly state that local-parts are case-sensitive and RFC's 2822 and 5322 say it indirectly by way of the ABNF spec. The one exception is postmaster, which gets special treatment as the only address that has to exist in every domain. Note that the transport and header case-sensitivity does not automatically translate into how delivery agents and mailstore agents work. In this case, the case-folding is being done by Postfix's local component, which is its documented behavior.

[Dovecot] Address Extensions with System Users
I am using Dovecot 1.2RC2 with Postfix 2.5.5. Everything is running fine. I would like to start using address extensions and have e-mail automatically filtered into folders based on the folder name after the + in the e-mail address. I only use system users, no virtual users. I have Deliver configured in main.cf as: mailbox_command = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver Everything I can find about setting this up applies to virtual users which I do not have. How do I get Deliver to recognize the address extension. I am sure it is easy, and I apologize for not finding the answer out myself.

Well doesn't that suck. I have no idea how to create a wrapper script. I guess I need to figure something else out. So, if I was create virtual users I would be able to use the +ext filter method?

I seem to be getting two messages for any e-mail that has the plus addressing in it. Is this a Deliver problem or a Postfix problem? Where would I start to troubleshoot it? Jeff
[Dovecot] Address extensions with dovecot LDA
Greetings! I'm using Dovecot and Postfix with virtual mailboxes, the mailbox data is contained in a MySQL database. I'd like to use the Dovecot delivery agent so I can support Sieve filters. However, I'm not sure how to get the delivery agent to work with the Dovecot auth mechanism and MySQL to do proper lookups of email addresses with address extensions (such as [EMAIL PROTECTED]). Does anyone have a similar setup that can tell me how I might get this to work? -- Nick Kartsioukas| KF6UZB [EMAIL PROTECTED] | NK2694
Re: [Dovecot] Address extensions with dovecot LDA SOLVED
Okay...I thought I had done enough searching before posting, but I guess I was wrong :) In Postfix's master.cf file I changed the dovecot delivery command to: /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -d [EMAIL PROTECTED] That was much easier than what I was trying before :) (note to others...the list software munges email addresses to read blah at blah.com, so you'll want to reformat the above to have no spaces and an actual at symbol in place of at, otherwise deliver will give an error!) (further gah...it's even in the wiki, how did I miss that? Sorry, folks!) -- Nick Kartsioukas| KF6UZB [EMAIL PROTECTED] | NK2694
