There are multiple ways to configure a dialup mail system.  Could you
please give us the details of how you retrieve the mail (fetchmail,
getmail, etc.) and how you deliver it locally?  Then we can figure out
just what you need to do in order to hook TMDA into the picture.

As Drew commented, it has no effect on $EXT ($EXTENSION w/Postfix),
but otherwise, your understanding of its purpose is accurate.  I've
posted a couple of times (check the archives) on how I use this header
on a qmail system to forward from addresses in /var/qmail/alias/ to my
personal account.  It involves appending the extension part of the
original address to the new recipient address so that when qmail
delivers to TMDA, $EXT is already set properly.

For example, mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
is forwarded to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", thus
allowing qmail to set $EXT to "confirm-XXXXXXXX.yyyyyy" and making
TMDA happy.
