Qmail uses "-" as the extension delimiter (similar to MMDF's "="), so if
user-token@domain doesn't work, and ~user exists on your qmail server,
you're probably missing ~user/.qmail-default.  "man dot-qmail" and read
the EXTENSION ADDRESSES section for details.

Edit conf-break in the qmail sources, "make setup check".

Why not just stick to a single delimiter (like qmail's "-", which seems to 
be universally accepted)?
