Re: Mail addresses with quotes + Postfix

I wrapped the LDA command in a script. I can see that Postfix passes "@@mydomain.tld" as the -d argument, without quotes. I then adapted the script to specifically replace this address with "@"@mydomain.tld, but this results in the following error message by Dovecot:

     auth: Info: userdb(?): Username character disallowed by auth_username_chars: 0x22 (username: "@"@mydomain.tld)

So what would be the appropriate quoting/setting for this address?

Adding " to auth_username_chars would help.

But why are you trying to accept such incredibly horrible email-addresses/usernames?

Also, -d is used to provide the username. For -d, you could leave out the double quotes and provide the full e-mail address--including the required quotes--to the -r argument. It all depends on what your userdb expects. Regards, Stephan.

I upgraded to Dovecot 2.3.0.1 as advised, but it still seems broken. In the Postfix log I now see:

I can see in my MySQL Log that Dovecot queried at the same time with %n = "" (empty) and %d = "@mydomain.tld". So now the "@" is dropped entirely.

What does the "Fatal: Invalid -f parameter: Missing domain" tell us? Do I need to change the way Postfix calls Dovecot? Add more quotes? :D Can you check what Postfix is feeding to Dovecot exactly (i.e., whether it is properly escaped)? Maybe wrap dovecot-lda in some shell

Dear all,

I have a working setup with Postfix + Dovecot, storing users in a MySQL table.

I ran into problems setting up and using a mail address like a"@"b@mydomain.tld, which by RFC should be valid, but leads to problems in Dovecot. From my debugging, I can see that on the lookup, Dovecot replaces %n with "a" (quotes added by me) and %d with "b@mydomain.tld" (quotes added by me). So the original quotes are gone, and the domain/user split is incorrect.

I am not sure of Postfix passes the address without quotes to Dovecot or whether Dovecot can not handle quotes correctly, but I was hoping that someone with more insight into Dovecot could help me out here.

System Info: Debian 9, Postifx 3.1.6-0+deb9u1, Dovecot 2.2.27-3+deb9u1 Postfix master.cf for Dovecot: dovecot unix  -       n       n       -       - pipe     flags=DRhu user=virtual:virtual argv=/usr/lib/dovecot/dovecot-lda -f ${sender} -d ${user}@${nexthop}

I am grateful for any hints :)

Thank you in advance, kind regards, Yeah, Dovecot v2.2 is doing some funky stuff with SMTP address
