dovecot - May 2009 - imap cann't read the mail that foxmail send

Hi everyone:
I use dovecot only as the imap server, For smtp and pop3, I use apache james.
The dovecot version: 1.1.14
And the configuration is :
   protocols: imap
   ssl_disable: yes
   login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login
   login_executable: /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login
   mail_location:
mbox:/usr/local/edupass/mail/repo/%u:INBOX=/usr/local/edupass/mail/%u
   auth default:
    passdb:
      driver: sql
      args: /etc/dovecot-sql.conf
    userdb:
      driver: sql
      args: /etc/dovecot-sql.conf

I have no porblems to login.
When I use "telent host 25" to send a email, dovecot read it no
problems.
But when I use outlook and foxmail to send a email, dovecot cann't read the
email data.
 
I compared the data that using the two way to send, and found the reason:
use outlook and foxmail: at the beginning of the eamil data is "From
zxjteacher_SP_LZU <zxjteacher_SP_LZU at myserver>";
and if I telnet host 25 to send the mail: at the beginning of the eamil data is
"From <zxjteacher_SP_LZU at myserver>",
so I delete "zxjteacher_SP_LZU", dovecot read it out.
 
"zxjteacher_SP_LZU" is because that outlook and foxmail need an
account name to represent the eamil address.
 
So, anyone ever confront with this situation?
Any helps appreciate.
Thx.

Dovecot is not an smtp server. It does not listen on port 25 (or if you
tell it to, you don't understand what dovecot is).

This is not a dovecot problem.

What exactly do you mean by the above? Do you mean the mbox's "From
"
line separator is different with them or that you have the mbox "From
"
line and also the above line? Copy&paste a full example?
