Hey all,

I'm considering switching from qmail to OpenSMTPD, mainly for the TLS
support.  Been using qmail since 2000, and it's probably time to move
on.

My first question is, how can I sort incoming mail by delimiter?  For
example in qmail you can have [email protected] subscribed to the
qmail list and [email protected] subscribed to this list.  The
following file is all that's needed for the latter case:

$ cat ~/.qmail-opensmtpd
./Mail/lists/opensmtpd/

So qmail delivers such mail to that Maildir, and that list is separated
from others, all neatly organized and easily accessable in Mutt.

Can individual users control this in OpenSMTPD?

Or does the sysadmin have to modify /etc/aliases (then run newaliases,
right?) for each delimiter case?  I know about procmail (used it ages
ago!) but apparently it hasn't been updated since 2001, and Wikipedia
says there are unfixed vulns.  Not something that feels like an upgrade
to me.

What are people doing to sort their mail?  What's the cleanest and
safest way?  I'd greatly prefer a built-in solution by OpenSMTPD rather
than separate code I'd have to worry about.

I suspect the answer might be in the table manpage, but the examples
given seem to point delivery to a single mbox/Maildir/whatever.

The aliases manpage section on "user-part@domain-part" says that "an
address such as [email protected] will only use the part that
precedes '+' as a key."  My understanding of this is that
[email protected] or [email protected] (depending on
delimiter configured in OpenSMTPD) would be trimmed to [email protected]
before the delivery instruction is applied.

Any help?

Thank you!

Nicolai
