USERNAME is rarely used and only then as a final fallback, if TMDA can't determine the appropriate address another way. For incoming mail, the RECIPIENT environment variable, set by Postfix, is always used, so USERNAME never comes into play. If you want to base the confirmation address on a different address than what is provided in RECIPIENT, CONFIRM_ADDRESS is the way to do it. > Now, when someone tries to confirm their message w/ the above > config, it also fails. Probably because when Postfix translates the address [EMAIL PROTECTED] to <acctname>@elitist.org, it loses the '-confirm-XXXXXXX.YYYYY.ZZZZZZ' part, which TMDA needs to cryptographically verify the address. So the message looks like a normal message to <acctname>@elitists.org. I don't know if there is a way to have Postfix preserve the extension portion of the incoming address and append it to 'acctname' as part of the alias processing. If so, that might work for you.
