Re: peculiar lmtpd behavior
Frobbing with the lmtp code, I noticed this thread...

Specially that does not take account

which is correct return batch for bounces.
Well, for an empty return path, rpath is NULL, so the code never gets
called. If it is NOT NULL, but still empty, then there is a nasty bug
somewhere else.

Re: peculiar lmtpd behavior
In our configuration the set of users that can receive mail locally is
the contents of the assign file.
Messages are passed to deliver via the users' .qmail files.
The transformation of the Return-Path happens after qmail has
handed off the message to cyrus for final delivery.

Looks buggy :-)

Ah NOW I understand. You mean the final delivery of a bounce generated by
any other MTA to the sender of the erroneous message (the sender has
a cyrus imap mailbox). Yes then you are right, I think this is a bug.
There should be some matching for as Return-Path in lmtpengine.c, because
this is the only correct Return-Path for an automatically generated bounce
message... :(

Re: peculiar lmtpd behavior
We are experiencing a behavior in lmtpd such that it inserts an @ sign and hostname in the Return-Path if the Return-Path does not contain an @ sign. So bounces on our system have a Return-Path with @hostname and no username. (As an aside, we are running qmail as opposed to sendmail.) We are investigating this further and would appreciate any assistance in understanding this behavior and identifying a resolution. As a first hint, I think you must search at qmail's configuration because Cyrus cannot produce a bounce, can it? Cyrus only understands LMTP and IMAP and both of them do not generate bounces (Sieve Scripts are a different story, because they are using /usr/lib/sendmail when forwarding mail). It would be nice if you could tell us your configuration (how did you couple QMAIL with Cyrus? via /var/users/assign?) and then we can look if we can help you (sorry for the we as I am very new to this mailing list but very old when it goes to Cyrus IMAPD things, I am using this beast from Ver- sions 1.5 on and now we have 2.0.16 working like a charm).
