I turned debugging on in both programs and could see the conversation between
Postfix and Dovecot via LMTP. Setting recipient_delimiter to +- in
Postfix doesn't make the delivery break so I left it at this. Only
recipient_delimiter=+- in Dovecot makes the difference. In both cases Postfix
ask
Dovecot for a user named "<foo-bar at sapienti-sat.org>" and
with "-" included in Dovecot's recipient_delimiter option Dovecot
replies with:

550 5.1.1 <foo-bar at sapienti-sat.org> User doesn't exist: foo at
sapienti-sat.org

On the Dovecot side I see a single database lookup for "foo at
sapienti-sat.org". So Postfix doesn't care and hands the complete mail
address off to
Dovecot, which in turn either looks up the full email address (in case of
"-" excluded) or looks up the truncated mail address only in case of
"-"
included.

My question would be:
Is this due to a misconfiguration somewhere?
Is this the intended behavior?
Or is this a bug?


Cheers,
  Juri


PS: here are the logs (from two different but identical tests) for the case
where both Dovecot and Postfix have recipient_delimiter = +-

Poorly documented, imo, but you want lmtp_save_to_detail_mailbox = yes:

Thanks, tried it, but no, that's not what I want and it doesn't help in
my case.

To recap:
If I set recipient_delimiter to "+-" (or "-" alone), having
a user named "foo-bar" won't work anymore, because Dovecot always
tries to deliver to user
"foo" and never tries "foo-bar", even though it exists.

My question would be:
Is this due to a misconfiguration somewhere?
Is this the intended behavior?
Or is this a bug?
