obviously the LDA (in addition to postfix) would have to understand that they are the same, and Sieve would as well, in order to be able to filter/file into a folder based on a matching rule *if* one exists - or just Deliver to the Inbox for localRecipient@example.com if one doesn't.
Therefore my suggestions to map "us.er" to "user+us.er". This is done with envelope information during SMTP not in headers, hence, should not effect delivery phase. After mapping, postfix delivers to "user" (local recipient), you configure Postfix to call Dovecot deliver with "-d user -m detail -n". "-m detail" is the default mailbox, "-n" does not create a missing mailbox.
Hmmm... ok, I think (hope) I see...
Thanks for applying the clue-stick so gently Steffen... :)
Now I'm off to the postfixadmin list to see if this capability could be added (to have some kind of regex based aliasing that can be toggled on/off, that controls the whole thing, allowing me to simply specify the optional 'plus' character(s) I want to use.
