I have recipient_delimiter = + in main.cf (Postfix). But deliveries to dovecot/deliver are still being rejected. It appears that the full email is still in the envelope (e.g. phil+howard@example.com which I want to be delivered to phil@example.com). Is that how it's supposed to work and Dovecot just doesn't support this?
On or about line 821 in the Dovecot.conf file:
#auth_username_chars = abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ01234567890.-_@
If you have not all ready done so, add the "+" to the end of the list and un-comment the line. I believe you will have to restart 'dovecot' for the change to take affect.
By the way, Postfix must be properly configured to pass the email address to dovecot. I leave that as an exercise to the user. You might want to start here thought:
