New submission from Torsten Irländer <torsten.irlaender at intevation.de>:

kolab 2.0.3 without patches applied.                   
                   
kolbafilter.php seems to have some problems on folded "From:" headerline.                             
If this line is folded e.g:                             
                            
From: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?=22K=F6hler=2C_Manfred=22?=                            
<manfred at test.hq>                            
                           
For me following line is problematic:                         
                         
else if( !$headers_done && !$from && eregi( '^From: (.*)', $line, $regs ) ) {                         
    $from = $regs[1];                         
                         
If you put in a folded "From:" here you match only the realname and not the                        
emailaddress which is on the second line. So $from will contain no valid                       
mailaddress which is used for later untrusted-checks[0].                       
                       
So in result some mails are rewritten altough they should not.    
In addition they are badly rewritten so that you can't reply on them in some    
cases.                 
                  
You can easily reproduce them by sending mails per telnet which will be                   
rewritten. Please follow instruction described below (where test.hq is the          
kolab-domain):

From: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?=22K=F6hler=2C_Manfred=22?=              
<manfred.koehler at test.hq>             
Subject: Hi here is Manfred             
             
Ping             
.             
</snip>          
This will produce a mail which can not be replied. Same happens with "From:"          
where the email address is completely missing (no second line).    
    
[0] this is triggered because "is_my_domain" seems to returns true.
