Hi, I have an OpenSMTPD / Dovecot installation on an OpenBSD server. I recently came across an issue where Dovecot LMTP would reject a message sent to a local user from an address which contains a single apostrophe (e.g. firstname.o'lastname at example.com). Apparently apostrophe, as well as a number of other special characters, are valid characters in the local part of the email address

Hi list. I'm using dovecot as postfix's LDA. The version is 2.3.6. Last week some spammer set the envelope's FROM to "foo at bar@domain.com" (with two @). While trying to deliver (as this one didn't hit the spamassassin's score), dovecot said the following: Jun 21 02:35:58 mymailserver postfix/pipe[29736]: ADA268195E: to=<user at mydomain>, relay=dovecot,
