[Dovecot] RC7: BUG! and patch [Was: Re: rc7 bug? [Was: deliver LDA and INBOX location] (fwd)] (fwd)

[David Lee]

Could someone confirm, please, that this bug report and its proposed fix
are being checked?

1. Is my analysis (message below) about right?
2. Is my proposed patch (attached) about right?
3. Is this being addressed for "rc8" (or whatever) and its successors?

Many thanks.

BUG in rc7 (and probably from much earlier).

The LDA 'deliver' fails to honour any uid (%i) setting in dovecot.conf.
So delivery and reading happen in different places if 'default_mail_env'
uses a '%i' variant.  Clearly incorrect behaviour.

Attached is a draft of a patch which fixes the problem.  Please could the
patch be reviewed and, in some form, applied?

Thanks.
