if all extensions are acceptable (not very recommended),

Ok, this caught my attention...

Yes, I was planning on allowing any extension to be used/made up on the
fly... thje purpose for using the extension will be for signing up for
different sites/lists/things, so I can use the same address, but be able
to distinguish mail that comes to me via that service...

I just don't want to have to create the alias before I use it...

So, is there maybe some kind of regex that could be used to make this
safer? Ie, only allow safe characters, or something?

Thanks mouss,


Postfix does not allow $1 etc. substitution in virtual_mailbox_maps.
http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#virtual_mailbox_maps

Postfix virtual(8) will accept any extension, but will always deliver unmatched extensions to the user's default inbox.

Some third-party IMAP servers may support "deliver to any extension subfolder", I haven't looked.
