I just tried this with my Postfix mail server, and it doesn't work. Is that a limitation of Postfix, or a configuration problem on my system?
Just want to mention that one of my pet peeves is web
sites that think that email addresses with a "+" in the
name aren't valid. They are valid and rfc compliant.
Technically you might want to allow them. For example,
[EMAIL PROTECTED] is a valid e-mail address. Just
for those that don't know how the plus sign is treated,
according to the SMTP RFC's, mail clients should accept
e-mail addresses with a plus sign in it, but for the
purposes of delivery, everything after the plus sign is
ignored. This allows for some cool filtering and spam
prevention. For example, all my e-mail communication with
comcast is done with torriem+comcast. If I start getting
spam that is being sent to torriem+comcast, then I know
who sold my address and then I can block all mail with the
"+comast" suffix.
