[Kolab-devel] [issue1368] Webinterface allows to create email addresses with slash that cyrus cannot handle

[Bernhard Reiter]

New submission from Bernhard Reiter <bernhard at intevation.de>:

tested with server 2.1-beta1.      
      
Create an new account and use an email address that contains a '/' slash.      
e.g.      
      
test/test at example.com      
      
koladb will say:      
 Aug 18 12:39:38 localhost kolabd[17385]: L Debug: Synchronising object     
`slash01/     
test at eione.hq'     
Aug 18 12:39:38 localhost kolabd[17385]: L Debug: GUID attribute `entryUUID' is     
`92274fc2-c2f1-102a-949e-e9550fda7e2f'     
Aug 18 12:39:38 localhost kolabd[17385]: L Debug: Creating user     
`slash01/test at ei     
one.hq' corresponding to GUID `92274fc2-c2f1-102a-949e-e9550fda7e2f'     
Aug 18 12:39:38 localhost kolabd[17385]: Y: Creating mailbox     
`user/slash01/test@     
eione.hq'     
Aug 18 12:39:38 localhost kolabd[17385]: Y Warning: Unable to create mailbox     
`us     
er/slash01/test at eione.hq', Error = `Permission denied'     
     
I have found not indication the Cyrus actually could handle such addresses.    
 http://www.remote.org/jochen/mail/info/chars.html   
lists "l" as a MAYBE character for email addresses.   
Kolab Server runs with Cyrus  unixhierarchysep option. 
 
Fastest solution: Check for such characters in the local part 
of email addresses in the webinterface.
