Subject: Bug Report: %% variables not expanded properly with shared namespace
using . as separator
I think this is a bug.
I'd expect that location %% variables are translated the same way %
variables are interpreted, but apparently this isn't the case.
virtual folders work fine, but my shared folders fail because of the .
in the domain name.
What I get is the following:
# doveadm acl debug -u user1@domain1.com.au shared.user2@domain2.com.au
doveadm(user1@domain1.com.au): Error: Mailbox 'com.au' in namespace
'shared.user2@domain2.' doesn't exist in
/var/mail/vhosts/domain2/user2/mail/.com.au
...
namespace others {
list = children
location =
maildir:/var/mail/vhosts/%%d/%%n/mail:INDEX=/var/mail/vhosts/%d/%n/shared/%%u
prefix = shared.%%u.
The mailbox Trash of user user1@domain1.com.au would spell as IMAP token:
shared.user1@domain1.com.au.Trash
Because . is the hierarchie separator, Dovecot must break the string at
the 2nd ., because it cannot determine which dot comes from a domain name
and which is a separator.
You need another hierarchie separator for all your namespaces.
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Namespaces?highlight=%28separator%29
"IMAP clients, Sieve scripts and many parts of Dovecot configuration use
the configured separator when referring to mailboxes. This means that if
you change the separator, you may break things."
Meaning e.g. the fileinto in Sieve scripts need to use the other
separator, too.
