Michiel,

Just getting my head around this, but this man page has an explanation:

http://www.qmail.org/man/man8/qmail-pw2u.html (at the bottom of the page):


 *OPTIONS*
          *-o*    (Default.)  Skip/user/  if/home/  does not exist (or is not
               visible to*qmail-pw2u*).  Skip/user/  if/home/  is not owned
               by/user/.

          *-h*    Stop if/home/  does not exist.  This is appropriate if
               every user is supposed to have a home directory.  Skip
               /user/  if/home/  is not owned by/user/.

          *-H*    Do not check the existence or ownership of/home/.

          *-U*    (Default.)  Skip/user/  if there are any uppercase
               letters in/user/.

          *-u*    Allow uppercase letters in/user/.

         *-c*/char/ Use /char/ as the user-extension delimiter in place of *-*.
          *-C*    Disable the user-extension mechanism.

          *-/*    Use/home/*/.qmail-/*...  instead of/home/*/.qmail-*...

Again, I'm not sure how to use this without some investigation, but it looks 
like a possibility WITHOUT recompilation of Qmail code (simply a cdb).

Perhaps,

This may help, although, honestly, I wouldn't know now how to implement it.

Okay, I understand.

I'm not sure how to use a + instead of a -, easily in qmail.

Hi Eric,

I don't want to create a new user but it should be all sent to the same mailbox. For example [email protected] should go to the mailbox of user [email protected]. The good thing with the delimiter is that you can use [email protected] and it is always sent to the [email protected] mailbox where the user can filter the detail part and sent it to a subfolder and keep track on all those websites.

Cheers,

Michiel

    Hi Michiel

    I have to admit that I know nothing about the delimiters in
    qmail, but as a test set up two accounts on my own server:

    1) [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>

    2) [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>

    qmail accepted mail for both users.

    Personally I use Maildrop, but have looked into using Sieve for
    Dovecot 'triggered' by its own LDA, 'deliver' here:

    Hi Eric,

    Correct. I use sieve to filter on the detail part.

        Hi Michiel,

        Are you talking about an address like

        [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>

        as opposed to

        [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>

        ?

            Hi,

            I am using Postfix/OpenSMTPD which use the + as
            delimiter which I can filter on with sieve (dovecot).
            I know that the default delimiter in Qmail is - and if
            you want to change it, you have to recompile Qmail to
            use + as a delimiter.

            My question is: is there an easy way to switch from the
            - delimiter to + so I can keep my current email
            addresses intact?

            Cheers,

            Michiel
