Hi all, I posted this to the Kolab server lists, and just wanted to let the other Cyrus users know. It affects Cyrus-imapd 2.2.3 with virtual domain support enabled.
Kind regards, Stephan Buys ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: BUG: ZfOS Kolab (OpenPKG 2.0) Date: Tuesday 02 March 2004 11:44 From: Stephan Buys <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi all, We just wanted to let you know that we have discovered a bug in Cyrus IMAPd with it's handling of Virtual Domains. AFFECTED VERSIONS: Please note that this only affects the latest version of Kolab as distributed via the ZfOS site. Specifically cyrus-imapd-2.2.3. Remember that this version of Kolab should be regarded as a development version, it is not yet officially released as the next version of Kolab. DETAILS: The problems comes in with the way that the Cyrus IMAP daemon parses mailbox names to it's internal format. According to RFC3501 (IMAP4rev1), US-ASCII characters and characters representable by UTF-7 are valid for mailbox names. This includes the @ sign (0x40), which falls within US-ASCII. The Cyrus IMAP daemon (with virtual domains enabled) assumes that an @ character is always used to delimit a virtual mailbox, thus returning "Invalid Mailbox Name" whenever an @ sign is included in the name of a mailbox. IMPLICATIONS: - You will not be able to create folders with an @ sign in the name using Imapd 2.2.3 as configured in Kolab. - There will be problems when using the Toltec connector if a mailbox name includes any special characters, as Toltec uses @ as an escape character when encoding special characters. This is a legal UTF-7 encoding according to RFC3501. We will try to resolve this issue as soon as possible and have already engaged the Cyrus developers for assistance.
