I have cyrus-imapd-2.2.3 on FC1
When mail is delivered from postfix to cyrus , via unix lmtp some mails
with japanese characters in headers ( from: and Subject: ) get changed
The headers get replaced with "XXXXXX" ( non-ascii chars become X )
but the body is not changed at all
something like this
Reply-To: "XXXc X^XX" <concurring503@xxxxxxxxxx>
From: "XXXc X^XX" <concurring503@xxxxxxxxxx>
To: <feedback@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: XXXXXXXXXX
Do I have to do any setting to allow japanese characters ?
It's a feature, not a bug! :)
From the imapd.conf manpage:
reject8bit: 0
If enabled, lmtpd rejects messages with 8-bit characters in the
headers. Otherwise, 8-bit characters are changed to `X'. (A
proper soultion to non-ASCII characters in headers is offered by
RFC 2047 and its predecessors.)
There has been a lot of discussion on the mailing list about this topic.
