I just set up postfix+amavis+clamav+dovecot on ubuntu, moving my
server from Windows/hMailServer. On the old system, I had an email
alias of !...@phrogz.net that I want to get working again. (As best I can
tell, this is valid according to both RFC2822 and RFC5322.)
Trying to send to that on the smtp server gives me:
501 5.1.3 Bad recipient address syntax
I tried disabling amavis (by commenting out the line "content_filter =
smtp-amavis:[127.0.0.1]:10024" from main.cf and performing "sudo
service postfix restart", but it didn't make a difference.
Following are some possibly salient details. If more are needed, just
tell me what they are (and possibly how to get them). Thanks in
advance for any help.
