Hi,

Is there a reason why Postfix omits quoting the localpart (when that would normally be necessary according to RFC 5321) of sender and recipient addresses passed to a policy delegation service (in this case Dovecot quota-status)?

So for:

RCPT TO:<"John Doe"@example.com>

the following line (among others) is sent to the policy service:

recipient=John d...@example.com

Other example:

RCPT TO:<"user@detail"@example.com>

yields:

recipient=user@det...@example.com

Summarizing, postfix uses invalid addresses (at least in terms of RFC 5321) when communicating with a policy delegation service (i.e. check_policy_service acl) and I wonder whether it is a bug or whether there might be some reason. As shown, the addresses were quoted correctly in the original SMTP session, but Postfix drops the quotes and passes the result to the policy service.


Regards,

Stephan.
