dovecot - Mar 2019 - question about %u and %h used in mail_location

Hello,

 I have defined the following:

mail_location = maildir:~:INBOX=~/Maildir:LAYOUT=fs:INDEX=%u

%u is retrieve via database in that my username contain ":", in which
it
create some confusion to dovecot:

doveadm index -u user1:site at domain iNBOX
doveadm(user1:site at domain): Error: remote(192.168.10.22:24245): Namespace
'': Unknown setting: site at domain

I cannot change the value in DB so is there a workaround to this problem?

TIA.

- Joe

Convert the username to not have ':' when it comes out of auth. Could be
possible with SQL userdb. With others .. I'm not sure, you might have to use
Lua to convert it.
