Hi,

I've got the issue, that the "-" character in an e-mail address is not accepted by Postfix.

Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 mail.opencsw.org ESMTP Postfix
HELO localhost
250 mail.opencsw.org
MAIL FROM: <ih...@dogan.ch>
250 2.1.0 Ok
RCPT TO: <-hanswur...@dogan.ch>
501 5.1.3 Bad recipient address syntax

Other mail servers (for example Ecelerity) do not have issue with this:

220 mail17.dogan.ch ESMTP Service ready
HELO localhost
250 mail17 says HELO to 213.160.63.11:60097
MAIL FROM: <ih...@dogan.ch>
250 MAIL FROM accepted
RCPT TO: <-hanswur...@dogan.ch>
250 RCPT TO accepted
quit
221 mail17 closing connection

As I understood RFC 5322, the "-" characte seems to fine to be used in an e-mail address: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5322#page-12

What is the reason, that Postfix is not accepting "-" as the first character in an e-mail address?
