It probably wont. The ability to recognize extensions of your base e-mail address as aliases of your own address is a function not only of TMDA, but also of the mail server. The mail server on their end would need to be configured so that when it sees the extension, that it will still send the mail to your account. Thus, if I asked to have an account created called david, and another user had an account called david-test, then how would the mail server distiguish between the two when it saw extensions of the base address? I'm not sure about how mail servers other than qmail would handle it, but I know that when you create a new user on a system managed by qmail, that in addition to creating the user account, it's also necessary to configure qmail for each new user so that the extensions are recognized and delivered to the same user. I hope I'm not sounding as confused as I think I am. And if I'm wrong, then someone please correct me. But this is my understanding from what I've been using.
