Both of these are dovecot hits--but the name is different each time. Also the ?'s aren't really "?" marks; they're trans-ascii characters with high bits set that my mailer doesn't like very much. It really looks like a misdirected pointer or something somewhere, but I'm not familiar enough with the codebase to know where to start looking, or if in fact it is something else that is misconfigured. Any thoughts on how to resolve this?

Dovecot version?

My apologies-- dovecot version 1.2.11.

No problem - I thought maybe since you were on a Mac it might be a much older version, which might be the cause...

Sorry I can't help further, maybe someone else has some ideas...
