Hello all,
I have been trying to compare Dovecot to Cyrus and in trying to to migrate some mail from Dovecot to Cyrus I am unable to do so because of an invalid header. The From header is incorrectly written as From> as opposed to the correct From: . Any idea what may be causing this and how to fix it?
My setup is Fetchmail->Postfix->amavis-new->clamav->dovecot for dovecot and Fetchmail->Postfix->amavis-new->clamav->cyrus for cyrus. When receiving mail in the cyrus setup I don't have the problem.
Any thoughts?
Do you mean you have no "From:" headers at all in mails, only "From>"? That'd most likely show all your mails as having no sender, so you probably mean you have both? Or is the "From>" the mbox's From_-line?
Anyway, Dovecot is less strict than Cyrus in accepting broken headers, so maybe the mail was just added by some IMAP client?
