Re: recipient_delimiter and virtual users
post...@corwyn.net a écrit : OK, so I've become intrigued with recipient delimiters. My users are currently stored in a mysql database, 'postfix'. The table format is as postfixadmin sets it up, so in the username is the user email address u...@example.com Before I started tinkering, email to u...@example.com worked. Email to user+...@example.com failed with unknown recipient, all well and good. It looks like even with recipient_delimiter = + set, mail is still bounced for the same reason. I theorize that recipient_delimiter is actually checked at the end of the address such that with it enabled what I really have is u...@example.com+foo working (which, of course, won't work). Does this mean that I can't really use recipient_delimiter with my users defined as u...@example.com? If so, I presume I need to munge up (even more) my SQL statement so that instead of checking for username='%s' I'm going to need to strip %s apart into its constituent components and then reassemble it, so that user+...@example.com, user+...@example.com works? Or would I just use '%d', which looks like it might be the left side of the email address (tho I'd still have to make the SQL match that). The end result that would be cool would be that if foo was defined as a folder, mail would get delivered there, and if not mail would be delivered to the default inbox. I can currently (with my existing sql) create a second user user+...@example.com and get mail to deliver to inbox/foo , but that means that a) I have to maintain a u...@example.com AND a user+...@example.com, and additionally if I want to add additional extensions I have to create additional accounts, which seems tiresome. Thanks for any guidance! recipient_delimiter works out of the box. there is no need to change your tables, your sql statements nor add users. if it doesn't work for you, then you have something misconfigured. to get help, follow the directions in http://www.postfix.org/DEBUG_README.html#mail In particular: - logs - postconf -n

The problem is I don't know what the out of the box behavior should be. If I set recipient_delimiter = + then mail to u...@example.com, user+...@example.com, and user+spam all deliver to INBOX, regardless of whether there is a spam or foo folder created. What I want is, without having to set filters in the client, for mail to deliver to the appropriate folder. What is the default behavior I should expect from recipient_delimiter with user+...@example.com? Should mail: go to the default inbox always, or go to a folder foo if it's been created and inbox otherwise go to a folder foo if it's been created, or if the folder isn't there create foo and place the mail in that folder? Once I know what it should do, it's a lot easier for me to figure out what's broken/misconfigured :-) and ask for help appropriately. Thanks! Rick

What I want is, without having to set filters in the client, for mail to deliver to the appropriate folder. This up to your LDA. No LDA bundled with Postfix understands folders. Cyrus IMAP understands folders, and even knows that user+foo only goes to folder foo when the folder's ACL allows anonymous POST, otherwise mail goes to the Inbox. These issues are dealt with by Mailstore aware delivery agents, not the MTA. Deploy a delivery agent that co-operates with your mailstore (Cyrus, Dovecot, ...). Postfix will pass the address and extension to the delivery agent. -- Viktor. Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored. Please do not ignore the Reply-To header.
