I'm resurrecting this again because I'm getting pretty close to possibly being ready to install a brand new dovecot server (finally), but I still need for dovecots LMTP to add the x-original-to header.
So... was this completed quietly, or is support for it still not there?
Thanks,
Charles

LMTP adds a new Delivered-To:rcpt-to@address header when there is a single RCPT TO. You can force a single RCPT TO from Postfix side by setting lmtp_destination_recipient_limit=1. LMTP doesn't add/remove/change X-Original-To: header. Ok, thanks Timo... but...
Are you saying that this 'Delivered-To:' header can somehow be leveraged to provide the same info as the x-original-to header? I guess X-Original-To is the same address as what Postfix sees as the original RCPT TO address before alias expansion and such? In that case, see my today's mail in Postfix list.. Hi Timo,
I just tried to find your email from that day, but don't see it in the archives...
Was this ever resolved (getting x-original-to support in LMTP, like it is for the LDA)?
If not, since it seemed like it wasn't going to be much work, any chance you can revisit it soon? Hello,
I have tried to keep tabs on the various discussions going on related to the X-Original-To header when using Dovecot LMTP. Until now I have not needed a solution, but I am now finally about to migrate my old server.
Old setup: Postfix + SpamAssassin (after-queue content filter via pipe)
- virtual transport, and Courier-IMAP. New setup: Postfix + amavisd-new (after-queue content filter via smtp, with ClamAV and SpamAssassin) + Dovecot LMTP, and Dovecot for IMAP.
Charles, have you found a way that works for you?
No, and I simply haven't switched to LMTP yet, for this and one other reason (political, not technical)...
As for the rest below... wow... all I can say is, it sure would be nice if Timo/Wietse could just add the few lines of code that Timo said would be needed to properly support it natively.
I was experimenting some with my test server and came up with a way that utilizes some additional internal smtp content filter forwarding, which produces some overhead. It should be light compared with the load from ClamAV and SpamAssassin, however.
I'm not yet sure how amavisd-new funneling would handle multiple local recipients with different settings without passing the mail through multiple time, at least once per local user, let alone without first performing address mapping in postfix (for alias expansion). I have configured per-user SpamAssassin bayes filtering, and may introduce a whitelist based on address book entries (Roundcube.)
This solution I'm currently testing will pass each message through amavisd-new one time each per local and remote recipient, and will only add the X-Original-To header to the specific local recipient each envelope is intended for. No external users will receive the header, and no local user will see which other local users (e.g. via BCC) have potentially received the same message.
Flow: all mail in (both external and tls-authenticated internal) -> smtp (1) -> smtp-split (2) -> smtp-to-me (3a) | smtp-to-external (3b) -> smtp-amavis (4) -> dovecot-lmtp (5)
- I rely on default_destination_recipient_limit=1 in main.cf to split each incoming mail into one stream per recipient.
- smtp-split will receive one stream per recipient. Default content_filter=smtp-to-me, followed by option "smtpd_recipient_restrictions=permit_auth_destination,check_recipient_access,pcre:/usr/local/etc/postfix/filter-to-external.pcre,permit_mynetworks,reject" means I stop processing restrictions if my server is the destination. If my server is not the destination, the FILTER in check_recipient_access will override the preceding smtp-to-me filter.
Both 1) and 2) smtpd instances include option receive_override_options=no_address_mappings, to wait with mapping to internal recipient until we can add X-Original-To header for my server's users only.
3a) For mail to my server, smtp-to-me will add X-Original-To using a pcre script, in a similar fashion to step 2's filter. This step also expands the address mapping (by not specifying any receive_override_options). -o smtpd_recipient_restrictions=check_recipient_access,pcre:/usr/local/etc/postfix/recipient_access_x-orig.pcre,permit_mynetworks,reject
3b) For mail leaving my server, smtp-to-external will not add any processing besides implied expanding of the address mapping.
Mail is funneled through amavisd-new, once per final recipient. Mails leaving the server (sent from smtp-to-external) will be scanned by ClamV only. Mails with my server as the destination (sent from smtp-to-me) will go through ClamV, and SpamAssassin (together with per-user bayes filtering).
Nothing special is done here. The final destination address is sent to LMTP for delivery.
Contents of /usr/local/etc/postfix/recipient_access_x-orig.pcre: /(.+)/ prepend X-Original-To: <$1>
Contents of /usr/local/etc/postfix/filter-to-external.pcre: /^/ FILTER smtp-to-external:[127.0.0.1]:<port>
Room for improvement: Postfix seem to know the orig_to even after processing in amavisd-new, however I have yet to find a way to use this option. I can move the amavisd-new filter to before the X-Original-To header addition, however for amavisd-new to utilize per-user bayes, I currently need to do the address mapping in postfix before sending the content to amavisd-new. This may be possible to circumvent either with alias lookup in amavisd-new, or if I can find another way to use the postfix-available "orig_to" to populate X-Original-To header after scanning in amavisd-new.
I've tried to split the mails into one per recipient after address mapping and amavisd-new, instead of before as my solution above, without default_destination_recipient_limit=1 in main.cf. Instead I tried the options as part of smtp (and even smtpd) services in master.cf, unfortunately without success. I keep ending up with multiple X-Original-To with all local recipients (including BCC) in all internal copies delivered.
Have anyone successfully tackled this conundrum with other solutions?
