Hi,
I am having a strange issue with Amavis corrupting some localized characters in
mail. My mail chain looks like this:
- debian etch
- postfix 2.3.8
- amavisd-new 2.4.2
- dovecot 1.0.rc15
Every mail passing through the mailserver gets its characters corrupted. I
experimented with unicode character "ลก" (a common letter in czech alphabet),
which is normally encoded in 2 bytes (utf-8). However, after passing through
mailserver, resulting character occupies 4 bytes (!), a (bad) result which can
be simulated for instance by calling iconv('iso-8859-1', 'utf-8'). This means
that Amavis incorrectly transforms the mail body from ISO encoding to
(correctly specified) UTF-8.
I am pretty sure that this problem is caused by Amavis: when I remove Amavis
from the chain, everything works fine.
Several more observations:
- this issue can be observed on both incoming and outgoing mails
- there is no problem with my mail client (thunderbird) as it works perfectly
with other mail servers
- I tried running amavisd-new with C locale (LANG=C LC_ALL=C amavisd-new) with
same results
Is somebody experiencing the same problem, or can someone provide any advice?
Thanks a lot,
Ondrej Zara
