You know, I was thinking: wouldn't it be nice to have RFC 4468 (Message Submission BURL Extension) support in dovecot? Maybe we should ask the guys from Apple to contribute some support for it, I have a gut feeling they would gladly do so ;)
There's an active BURL thread on the postfix-users list right now and it seems Wietse and Victor are open to looking at the idea. Timo have you had any chats with Wietse and/or Victor about BURL, Postfix, and Dovecot as of yet? I'm just assuming for some reason that you've interacted with Wietse in the past on one level or another. My apologies if this is not the case.
Anyway, seems the time may be right to engage this feature and coordinate with some MTA devs to get it working correctly.
Does anyone know if Firefox has support for BURL submission yet, or does it even need it? I've not looked at the actual message paths defined by this extension yet. My assumption is that with this extension, the MUA submits the message to the IMAP server and then the IMAP server forwards it to the MTA. Or do I have it backwards?
