instead of relying on To, use recipient delimiter to route the tapped mail to say stan+s...@..., then have TB use the Delivered-To header that is added by postfix. of course, you can do this at delivery time (sieve if dovecot, maildrop rules if courier, ... etc). >> If you need further help, show "postconf -n" output, logging of the >> offending mail passing through postfix, and headers from the mail. > > The only additional help I probably need is a good kick in the butt or a > bucket of water thrown on my head. ;) Sorry I dragged you through this, > but I'm sure glad you were along for the ride.
