Hi,
Thanks for the response. First, the users are all virtual so they can't
create their own aliases. I could create aliases for them, but I would
have to create one for each and every foobar style argument. Some users
have gave these types of email addresses to web pages with a different
ending so they could positively identify which web site sold their email
address, and also to let procmail filter messages, etc. For example:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] --> given when registering at the Netscape web
site
[EMAIL PROTECTED] --> given when registering at the iName web site
Sendmail will handle this in a wildcard fashion, with both addresses
being equal to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and no need for an alias for each and
every difference. I am trying to find the similar functionality in
qmail, if a patch or other method is available. The + symbol is needed,
because this is what users have given out over time.
Regards,
Mike
