We don't have local mailboxes, those are stored on another server. You'd need to call an external program from deliver, which isn't possible. Now if you can tell me the way to get the e-mail out of that "deliver" program again into postfix, with the recipient rewritten to user+mail...@x.y, then you made my day. mfg zmi -- // Michael Monnerie, Ing.BSc ----- http://it-management.at // Tel: 0660 / 415 65 31 .network.your.ideas. // PGP Key: "curl -s http://zmi.at/zmi.asc | gpg --import" // Fingerprint: AC19 F9D5 36ED CD8A EF38 500E CE14 91F7 1C12 09B4 // Keyserver: wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net Key-ID: 1C1209B4
