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 at example.com <foe.blow%2Bdovecot at 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}

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. -- Jerry ?

(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! Nicki

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"? -- Jerry ?
