Hi,

did you see this thread?

https://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2018-October/113348.html

Had a similar issue with CHUNKING and Apple Mail, but could reproduce it with a Perl script, too. But I do not whether this was fixed already in v2.3.4 (nothing found in the release notes). Could be that relaying PIPELINING hast the same issues with “multi-line replies”.

Regards,
Paul

Dear all,

I'm running dovecot # 2.3.2.1 - Pigeonhole version 0.5.2 () - OS:
Linux 4.18.0-12-generic x86_64 Ubuntu 18.10 with Submission.
It works great except with apple mail (Iphone).

I get an error with the MTA (postfix):
""postfix/submission/smtpd[32552]: warning: non-SMTP command from
mail.example.org [1][xx.xx.xx.xx]: Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit""

with other mail-client(s) (Outlook (Desktop and Iphone app)) i have no
problem and it proxy-sends the e-mail beautiful out to the recipient.
Hardly anything to do with Dovecot. When it comes to email clients Apple
Mail has been and is still one of the worst flops (no offence intended,
just my opinion based on personal experience). If you can reliably
reproduce it, try and log the raw SMTP conversation between Postfix and
the client by enabling per IP debugging in Postfix:
postconf -e "debug_peer_level = 20"
postconf -e "debug_peer_list = xx.xx.xx.xx"
postfix reload
where xx.xx.xx.xx is the unlucky client IP address.

Possibly some crappy SMTP PIPELINING implementation at the Apple end,
who knows.

It's not unconceivable that there are bugs in submission either. Can you provide doveconf -n and submission rawlogs? See https://wiki.dovecot.org/Submission for settings.
