Hi (Stephan?),
is it a new feature of dovecot 2.3 /pigeonhole 0.5 that a sieve "redirect" 
changes the envelope sender of
a redirected mail or simply a bug ?

A sends mail to B, B redirects to C
C sees B (not A!) as envelope sender.
It is not a problem if C gets the mail but if that mail bounces
for various reasons it goes back to B and A will never know about this.

I thick this is came with 2.3 / pigeonhole 0.5 ?

# 2.3.1 (c5a5c0c82): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
# Pigeonhole version 0.5.devel (61b47828)
# OS: Linux 2.6.32-696.23.1.el6.x86_64 x86_64 CentOS release 6.9 (Final)

I moved one version back, same config except those changes in 10-ssl.conf 
necessary for the 2.2->2.3 upgrade

# 2.2.35 (b1cb664): /opt/dovecot/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
# Pigeonhole version 0.4.23 (b2e41927)
# OS: Linux 2.6.32-696.23.1.el6.x86_64 x86_64 CentOS release 6.9 (Final)

and this version keeps the envelope sender untouched.
So this a regression with 2.3 / 0.5
Envelope *senders* should never ever be modified.

My father is subscribed to a mailing list that instead of using [email protected] in 
the envelope
it actually modifies the envelope to the poster's email address. When they try 
to send
the email to my server and the envelope says "Hi, I'm coming from 
[email protected]",
I know they are lying because *my mail server is the mail handler* for 
example.com. REJECT

If you accept mail that's obviously forging the envelope sender, any spammer 
can just
send email saying I am you and get passed by a whitelist statement in 
Spamassassin
because... [email protected] "oh, he's a good guy.  Let him through."
