Heya,

does dovecot support "numeric only" usernames (in format "^0-9+$")?

We are unable to deliver emails to such usernames via LMTP: Sep 22 08:41:05 razor4 postfix/lmtp[2120]: D4FD91CDC11F: to=231588@example.org, relay=example.org[private/dovecot-lmtp], delay=217653, delays=217653/0.01/0.02/0, dsn=4.2.0, status=deferred (host example.org[private/dovecot-lmtp] said: 451 4.2.0 231588@example.org Permission denied (in reply to end of DATA command))

On normal username format (^[a-z][-a-z0-9]+$) everything is working fine.

Permissions are the same as on other accounts: # ls -la .mailbox -rw-------+ 1 231588 users 0 Sep 19 20:13 .mailbox

Using dovecot 2.2.13 with local accounts on RHEL and (relevant) configs: auth_username_chars = abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ01234567890.-_@ auth_username_format = %Ln auth_username_translation = ... lmtp_address_translate = ... passdb { args = cache_key=%u%s dovecot default_fields = deny = no driver = pam master = no name = override_fields = pass = no result_failure = continue result_internalfail = continue result_success = return-ok skip = never } ... service lmtp { chroot = client_limit = 1 drop_priv_before_exec = no executable = lmtp extra_groups = group = idle_kill = 0 privileged_group = process_limit = 0 process_min_avail = 5 protocol = lmtp service_count = 0 type = unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp { group = postfix mode = 0600 user = postfix } unix_listener lmtp { group = mode = 0666 user = } user = vsz_limit = 18446744073709551615 B } .... userdb { args = default_fields = driver = passwd name = override_fields = result_failure = continue result_internalfail = continue result_success = return-ok skip = never }

Thank you in advance,

cheers, Jernej
