Dovecot v2.2. was extremely permissive regarding address syntax. Dovecot 
v2.3+ tends to be more strict, but if there's really an interoperability 
problem we can implement a workaround. First I'd like to know what 
exactly is going on. For some reason, your incoming mails have an 
envelope "from" address without a domain part, which is normally not 
allowed and makes little sense for messages exchanged on the internet. 
Any idea why that may be happening?

Regards,

Stephan.
