Accepting only bona fide plus addresses
I am in the process of setting up a mail system with plus addressing. Presently it is using Dovecot with sieve to filter the mail. What I want to do is limit the number of plus addresses that are accepted. Example: Employees: Tom, Joe, Jane An email to either sa...@example.com or sales+...@example.com should both be accepted. However, sales+fr...@example.com should not be accepted. My question is how to most efficiently implement this sort of setup within Postfix? Do I need a milter to accomplish this? -- Jerry ✌ postfix-u...@seibercom.net _ TO REPORT A PROBLEM see http://www.postfix.org/DEBUG_README.html#mail TO (UN)SUBSCRIBE see http://www.postfix.org/lists.html

If you want a limited set of recipient email addresses, you should not use plus addressing. The correct solution to your problem is to create regular aliases to sales@ named after the person: sales-...@example.org - sa...@example.org sales-j...@example.org - sa...@example.org -- Regards, Tom

I am investigating a few other possibilities though. I was thinking that perhaps 'postfwd' might be able to manage it. I have not tried it though. -- Jerry ✌ postfix-u...@seibercom.net _ TO REPORT A PROBLEM see http://www.postfix.org/DEBUG_README.html#mail TO (UN)SUBSCRIBE see http://www.postfix.org/lists.html

Either you don't need '+' addressing, and you follow Tom recommendation: create virtual alises for the + addresses that you want to accept or the opposite: accept + with exceptions. if so: simply ste a check_recipient_access with a pcre map: /^sales\+joe@example\.com$/ dunno ... /^sales\+.*@example\.com$/ REJECT User unknown in galactic table
