dovecot - Apr 2009 - [SIEVE: Redirect] Double ">" in forwarded envelop sender address => Gmail syntax error

Hi,

Plateform: gentoo + qmail

My deliver line is in a .qmail-USER file:
|/var/qmail/bin/preline /usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver -f ${SENDER:-<>} -d 
user at domain.tld

I notice that sieve implementation in Dovecot use double ">" for
the
envelop sender when there is a redirect command in sieve script.
(i've tried preline -f, without -f ${SENDER:-<>},... but nothing
change
for the the envelop sender syntax, alway the double ">")

And that fact breaks forwardin to Gmail.
Gmail reply that there is a syntax error probably due to the double
"<<"
(<<address>> and not <address>) as we can see in the log
behind:


Dovecot logs:

Is there something to do to fix that probleme ?

Thanks.

By the looks of the deliver code in

http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.1/file/1.1.14/src/deliver/mail-send.c

at line 178, the return path is not taken from the -f parameter for 
forwarded messages. It is in stead extracted from the message itself and 
the  address is not normalized, meaning that any surrounding <> will 
still exist.

The only way I can see this could manifest is when your sendmail does 
not normalize its -f parameter and tries to issue this address in the 
SMTP MAIL FROM: command with additional '< >'. That is all I can
think
of right now...

Timo, what's your opinion?

BTW, this problem sounds familiar.. haven't we seen this one earlier?

Stephan.
