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?

Hi,


have a look at this:


http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#recipient_delimiter



[...]When the recipient_delimiter [1] set contains multiple characters
(Postfix 2.11 and later), a user name or .forward file name is
separated from its extension by the first character that matches the
recipient_delimiter [1] set.[...]

Uhm, yes, I know what this option should do, but what happens, if I
already have a user with e.g. a hyphen (-) in its name (e.g. foo-bar)
and I set recipient_delimiter to "-"?

Will this character become a somewhat illegal character for usernames in
the user database?
