This is a dbmail bug and its a fairly common bug we see in new IMAP servers. From the log:

* 79 FETCH (FLAGS (\Recent) RFC822.SIZE 11427 UID 87074 INTERNALDATE "28-Jan-2003 10:34:36" ENVELOPE ("28 Jan 2003 18:34:05 -0000" "*****SPAM***** Your credit application has been approved. 113078154" ((NIL NIL ""CreditDept."" "mtsbp540.email-deliveries.net")) ((NIL NIL


Note that 'CreditDept.' appears inside of a double set of double-quotes! That is wrong. If double-quotes are part of the phrase in the email address, then they should appear 'escaped' in the IMAP response:

"\"CreditDept.\""

The server authors need to verify that double-quotes in string data sent by the server are always being 'escaped' in this fashion as required by IMAP. Those can occur in lots of places: examples include email addresses (both the phrase component and the actual email address itself), the subject, MIME parameters etc.
