If something matches we examine every forward destination. If it

email address of the form:

(using
the
same delimiter as found in the forward in case we recognize
multiple
delimiters)

I'm not sure I get what you mean here...


Suppose we do:

dbmail-users -x [EMAIL PROTECTED] -t [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Then it would be neat (and logical) for any email to

[EMAIL PROTECTED] to be forwarded to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

This is just (to me) a logical extension of what is already in place. The original bug complains only about the lack of XXX+YYY@ support.


Oh, that's pretty neat. Currently the forward should work but with the
+mailbox removed. Does that work in practice for you?


I am not sure what your question is here. Can you clarify?

Mail addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] where a forward exists for [EMAIL PROTECTED] 
->
[EMAIL PROTECTED] will work, but the original message will go into WWW's Inbox. At least, that's what I think happens; I haven't tried this in a while.


Yes this is what happens. And what I was proposing is expand on this
schema to allow the sub-addressing to be carried over to the destination (unless the destination doesn't _already_ specify a sub-address on its
own, in which case things have to be left intact)

I'm pretty sure this is significantly non-trivial, but I'll take a look
and see!


Oh... I thought it will be an additional line or two, as you already
have extracted all the relevant information while processing the address
against the alias/forward table...

If it is indeed a non-trivial feature request, please disregard it. I am
happy enough that XXX+YYY@ will get fixed :)

Thank you for your time

I'm working on the simpler case now. Carrying the mailbox into the forward is indeed not so easy. I'll note in the code where it could be added in the future.
