The cyrus-imap FAQ says the '@' symbol must be escaped in cases where the username is in the form '[EMAIL PROTECTED]':You need to use lmtp delivery from postfix. The standard cyrus delivery method from postfix strips the @ out. There is probably a setting to prevent that but lmtp is easier to use.http://acs-wiki.andrew.cmu.edu/twiki/bin/view/Cyrus/CyrusDeliverWithAt Two questions about this: 1. Where (in which file) is the escape sequence needed?2. Is the escape character one pipe symbol (|) or three? The FAQ gives examples with both.I am authenticating against a MySQL 4.1 database with the 'username' record in the form of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Here is the query in imapd.conf:sasl_sql_select: SELECT password FROM mailbox WHERE username='[EMAIL PROTECTED]' AND active='1'The messages log shows the user can log in successfully, but mail isn't being written to cyrus-imap inboxes.Thanks in advance for clues on this. dn
In your postfix main.cf just change the mailbox transport to something like mailbox_transport = lmtp:unix:/usr/local/imap/socket/lmtpand then postfix reload. If you run your postfix chrooted you'll need to make sure the cyrus lmtp socket is visible in the chrooted area and use the path relative to the chroot point instead of from the standard root point.
