cyrdeliver: "Message contains invalid header"

[Joerg Lange]

Hi,

 

I'm having a hard time getting cyrus (debian packages cyrus21-*) to run together with exim and procmail.

 

I have configured the system that mails are passed to procmail by exim, and then to cyrdeliver by the .procmailrc. However, cyrus gives me the error message: "Message contains invalid header". I cant figure out what exactly is wrong on the header and what cyrdeliver is expecting.

 

When I start cyrdeliver manually with a very simple testmail, I get the same message:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ echo testmail.txt | /usr/sbin/cyrdeliver -e -a mailtest -m user.mailtest
+user.mailtest: Message contains invalid header

 

testmail.txt:

-=================-

From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Return-path: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: Test123

Hi,
This is a small testmail!

-=================-

 

 

I am lost. This mail is so simple, why does cyrus complain?

 

Before cyrus21, I had the old packaged (cyrus-common, cyrus-imapd) installed. With them, I got the same error but I solved it by getting rid of the line "From xxx" (note that there is no colon after the word "From"). But in the above example, I have a line "From:", with colon. It should work....

 

By the way I'm using debian stable (sarge).

 

Many thanks for any help!!!
