[Dovecot] recipient delimiters and virtual users
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.

This was the problem, thanks, though the -a is not needed from reading the wiki options tells me it defaults to same.
(BTW I got this message in my spam folder ???? it must not like the dollar signs?) But all is working thanks again for your help!

Interesting! I hope this does not end up in the Spam folder also. Out of morbid curiosity, did it give any indication why it was marked "Spam"?

It did, and I don't know why, gmail is pretty brain dead so could be anything. It must be the list triggering it?

Sorry for the off topic comment.
My email provider (Yandex) is randomly placing email from Dovecot and Postfix list in the spam folder. I have no idea why. Big providers has lousy spam filter. Sometimes Gmail is doing the same.
Thought I'd let you know that I have the same problem.
Cheers, Mikael
