It always works for me but if you repro it it is worth it to get some debug data if possible.

it never worked through OpenSMTPd. I kept trying with no luck and thought it was something google did. When I tried postfix it worked.

Yeah qmail uses - for tagging for whatever reason. The rest of the internet uses +.

    Right, I tag sites for the same reason :)

    I just tried your recommendation with OpenSMTPD:

    $ telnet localhost 25
    Trying 127.0.0.1...
    Connected to localhost.
    Escape character is '^]'.
    220 janssen.my.domain ESMTP OpenSMTPD
    helo localhost
    250 janssen.my.domain Hello localhost [127.0.0.1], pleased to meet you
    mail from: <jwm+test@localhost>
    250 2.0.0: Ok
    rcpt to: <jwm+testmail@localhost>
    250 2.1.5 Destination address valid: Recipient ok

    Seems to work here, but not with qmail:

    failure: Sorry,_no_mailbox_here_by_that_name._(#5.1.1)/

    So: as a temporary solution, I can use my script to populate
    /etc/mail/aliases
    and switch to giving out jwm+* addresses from now on.

    Thanks,
        James
