Thread: Add support for username plus extensions




Add support for username plus extensions

A lot of MTA's seem to support a + (plus) extension to a
username so  
that users can tag where mail comes.

As an example, a user can use:

johndoe+foobardomain.tld


And they will get all email for johndoe and anything with
the + and  
after.  Sendmail, Postfix, Gmail and several others all
support this,  
however, Surgemail does not appear to.  Can this be added? 
We've had  
users ask for this from time to time so they can sign up
with more  
legit bulk services and then tag the messages; if they end
up getting  
spam to that address; they know where it came from! 

I could see it useful to identify certain types of mail and
move them  
into folders, etc.

That may work, but I'd have to add it for every domain, or
would  
something like this work?


g_redirect was="*+**" to="%1%3"


???

That will rediret 'all' email, not just incoming, so
outgoing as well... 
so no it would be bad.
