Thanks for clearing it up Dan.

Just catching up on emails in this box, and have 4 notes on this topic:
1. The /dash/ being a delimiter is embedded inside of qmail. It was
done so primarily to help the likes of the ezmlm group management
system, but it comes in handy in TONS of ways. (For example, I use
dan=ms@mydomain as my email at live.com so that when SPAM shows up
in my inbox having been addresses to dan-ms@mydomain, I know that
Microsoft has sold my email address (or leaked it in a data breach!)).
2. You cannot change the delimiter in qmail unless you recompile the
code. It’s not a variable that is set somewhere (AFIK). It’s OLD
qmail.
3. The qmail-users file is designed for use in old-qmail – but we
(qmt) use qmail with vpopmail – so the folders are located
differently. Just an FYI for when you go out and read some of the
documentation for the format of that file.
4. You CAN accomplish using + as a delimiter by using vpopmail
aliases…. But that’s not likely what you want at all.

Perhaps,
This may help, although, honestly, I wouldn't know now how to
implement it.

Okay, I understand.
I'm not sure how to use a + instead of a -, easily in qmail.

Hi Eric,
I don't want to create a new user but it should be all sent to
the same mailbox.
For example [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>
should go to the mailbox of user [email protected]
<mailto:[email protected]>.
The good thing with the delimiter is that you can use
[email protected]
<mailto:[email protected]>
and it is always sent to the [email protected]
<mailto:[email protected]> mailbox where the user can filter the
detail part and sent it to a subfolder and keep track on all
those websites.
Cheers,
Michiel

Hi Michiel
I have to admit that I know nothing about the delimiters
in qmail, but as a test set up two accounts on my own server:
1) [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>
2) [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>
qmail accepted mail for both users.
Personally I use Maildrop, but have looked into using
Sieve for Dovecot 'triggered' by its own LDA, 'deliver'
here: http://www.qmailtoaster.org/notes.html
originally here: wiki: http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Qmail

Hi Eric,
Correct. I use sieve to filter on the detail part.

Hi Michiel,
Are you talking about an address like
[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>
as opposed to
[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>
?

Hi,
I am using Postfix/OpenSMTPD which use the +
as delimiter which I can filter on with sieve
(dovecot).
I know that the default delimiter in Qmail is
- and if you want to change it, you have to
recompile Qmail to use + as a delimiter.
My question is: is there an easy way to switch
from the - delimiter to + so I can keep my
current email addresses intact?
Cheers,
Michiel
