This sounds suspiciously similar to the thread where I asked about some kind of support for 'Saving to Sent folder' automatically, so the message wouldn't have to be sent over the wire twice: http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2010-March/047272.html There have been a number of threads on the postfix list about this, and the last one actually resulted in a reasonable sounding workaround: http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/postfix/2010-03/0070.html > Does anyone know if Firefox has support for BURL submission yet, or does it > even need it? Why would it? If Firefox is being used then your talking about a webmail client, so the message is never downloaded to the local client anyway. > I've not looked at the actual message paths defined by this extension > yet.

That's what it sounded like to me - which is why I said it sounds exactly like what I had discussed in the thread referenced above - calling it a dovecot LSA (Local Submission Agent)... -- Best regards, Charles
