Is there a known workaround for users who want to use the old recipient delimiter plus sign method of sorting their mail? eg: foo.bat +dovecot@example.com <foe.blow%2Bdovecot@example.com>
This does not work with postfix/dovecot, but if we tell postfix/system-passwd to use the recipient_delimiter = + it works just like I recall sendmail did, but we no longer use local users only virtual dovecot LDA w/mysql.
postfix appears to accept it testing by telnet, but then the message gets a new DSN generated saying no user, so dovecot LDA must not work by default with this.
Postfix 2.8.3 Dovecot 1.2.17 MySQL 5.5.12
our postfix master.cf is dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=mail:mail argv=/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver -e -d ${recipient}
I use "+" addressing with Postfix & dovecot without a problem. This is from the Postfix master.cf file:
dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver -f ${sender} -d ${user}@${nexthop} -a ${recipient}
You should include the log entries, both Postfix and Dovecot that pertain to this situation. And please, do not mangle them. It makes figuring out what is happening so very much harder.
