Since I've upgraded to dovecot 2.0.13 + Pigeonhole 0.2.3 (Gentoo
package) I've received a few complains of users about rejected messages.
Investigating the problem, I've seen that when the external sender
server publishes SPF information, when some message is sent from there
to one of my users that has a Sieve redirect action active to another
external system (that does SPF validation), the message is rejected
because our system only changes the envelope "rcpt to" in the
redirection and the "mail from" remains the original.
When the end server does the SPF validation it fails because my server
isn't in the IP allow list for the domain of the original sender.
I never seen this problem in the old Dovecot+CMUSieve.
Shouldn't the sender be changed in the envelope "mail from" from the
original one to the recipient that made the Sieve redirection?
Keep the excellent work with dovecot and related projects!
TIA!
