Topic: Using recipient_delimiters config option

Hi is it possible to use the postfix "recipient_delimiters" option to specify multiple values. I'm migrating from a qmail install so have currently used minus (-) to delimit my addresses but want to support the postfix (+) method as well. However, if I change the main.cf to use recipient_delimiters, then when I send an email using either of the delimiters I get an "unknown user in virtual mailbox table" error. Using recipient_delimiter with either value works fine.

Am I missing something or is this config not supported?

Thanks

John

Re: Using recipient_delimiters config option

With Postfix 2.11 and later, you can use multiple delimiters. Reference:
http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html# … _delimiter

I'm currently running postfix 2.11:

>postconf -d | grep mail_version
mail_version = 2.11.0

but recipient_delimiters seems to be ignored as I still get a user unknown error. Do I need to specify it anywhere else such as the dovecot configuration for example? I haven't changed any other config options/files other than adding it to main.cf

Also bizarrely, postconf lists recipient_delimiter as being blank even though it is set and works as expected if changed.

Thanks

Re: Using recipient_delimiters config option

OK, fixed it, the documents on the web are slightly confusing. The actual parameter is still recipient_delimiter and not with an 's' at the end as implied by various items on the web. This all works fine now.
