Hi list.
I'm using dovecot as postfix's LDA. The version is 2.3.6.
Last week some spammer set the envelope's FROM to "foo at bar@domain.com"
(with two @). While trying to deliver (as this one didn't hit the
spamassassin's score), dovecot said the following:
Jun 21 02:35:58 mymailserver postfix/pipe[29736]: ADA268195E:
to=<user at mydomain>, relay=dovecot, delay=0.08, delays=0.03/0.02/0/0.04,
dsn=5.3.0, status=bounced (command line usage error. Command output:
lda: Fatal: Invalid -f parameter: Invalid character in path )
Which caused postfix to put it on the bounce list, but the spammer's
destiny don't really exist.
I could successfully mimic the spammer using telnet and putting two @ in
"mail from" address.
I don't think this should be an expected behaviour, right? Or is this
some config based error?
Thanks!
