I am running Dovecot 1.0-rc6 along with dovecot-sieve from 2006-10-05 CVS. I am calling dovecot deliver from Postfix (main.cf):

mailbox_command = /opt/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/deliver

Upon switching to dovecot deliver, I observed two problems:

1. An extraneous "From " header now appears at the top of each message delivered, e.g.:

From dovecot.deliver Fri Oct 06 19:59:57 2006 From sfs@tc.umn.edu Fri Oct 6 19:59:57 2006 Return-Path: sfs@tc.umn.edu

Using Postfix delivery the first of these lines does not appear. This, of course, confuses MUAs.

Don't give F flag to Postfix's pipe command.

Although this reminds me that the "dovecot.deliver" is wrong in there.. Hmm. I think I'll add a maildrop-compatible -f <envelope> parameter here.

There, done in CVS. I'll also make 1.0rc8 release today.

2. The "Content-Length:" header appears after a blank line, essentially putting it into the RFC822 body, e.g.:

User-Agent: Mutt/1.4.2.1i X-UID: 11510 Status: X-Keywords:

Content-Length: 200

test

Are you sure it's a blank line? Dovecot adds lots of spaces after X-Keywords which could just make it look like that.

If it really is a blank line, then it's most likely something else than Dovecot that changes the spaces that way.
