Using mailbox_command causes an extra (badly-formed) "From " line as described previously. I can't see how anyone could be using this successfully with Postfix (I'm running version 2.3.3).
I have Postfix 2.4-20060930 installed on a FreeBSD 6.1 machine and have dovecot working as an LDA without problem. This is using an MBOX. The mail is accessed by several different MUAs and none have complained.
Okay, but can you tell me what the first three lines of a mailbox looks like on your system? Are there TWO "From " lines? We have mbox-handling scripts at the very least that will break if they start seeing two "From " lines.
This is the RAW header as it appears in the MBOX:
From dovecot.deliver Mon Oct 09 17:28:37 2006
From sfs@tc.umn.edu Mon Oct 9 17:28:37 2006
Return-Path: <sfs@tc.umn.edu>This is how it looks after being handled by KMail:
From sfs@tc.umn.edu Mon Oct 9 17: 28:37 2006
Return-Path: <sfs@tc.umn.edu>The extra 'From' header is stripped out either by Dovecot when it is accessed via POP or else by KMail. I have accessed MBOX, actually there are more then one, with different POP clients as well as MUAs without incident.
If you have some custom script handling the mail, perhaps you could simply modify it to ignore the first 'From' in the message. Since the header always begins: 'From dovecot.deliver' that should not be that difficult.
