Hi,

I am trying to track down a problem that occurred several times now in a 
postfix-amavisd-new setup (postfix 2.1.1, amavisd 2.6.1) on an internal 
mail server.
The error scenario is this:

1. somebody  "outside" sends a mail with a from address like "Müller, 
Martin<[email protected]>
(valid header, encoded in ISO-8859-1 etc).
2. Mail is received and passed to the destination mailbox, local user 
reads mail and replies to it
3. mail reply gets to the internal mail server and there the address is 
split into a "local" part "Müller" which then postfix tries to deliver 
and a second part <[email protected]> . The second mail is 
delivered normally, the first part generates local bounce messages etc 
and even causes the postfix "local" component to crash.

Here an  example from hand-generated email with the following 
recipient:  "Curdeß, Jakob<[email protected]>"

I am not sure what exactly the problem is; when searching for it in the 
amavisd archives I found only the Net:SMTP problems that should be 
resolved in 2.6.x versions. Any ideas? Did somebody see this behavior also?
