Hi Jeremey,

the qmail assign mechanism is not looking at the extension, if setup
properly. Unfortunate, the description is a bit too short.

This is facilitated (to my knowledge) by simply

+jeremy:...

in users/assign. The typical usage is however:

+jeremy-:...

There is no reason to follow that scheme. qmail-newu (and qmail-lspawn)
use the local part of your email address only. The rest is irrelevant.
In the latter case, VERP addresses are considered as well.
This is different from virtualdomains, where account addresses (a la
vpopmail) are PREPENDED.

Virtual domain addresses are treated by qmail-newu as

+PREPENDED:...

again, following the typical syntax

+PREPENDED-:...

which is actually not required here.

Does this solve your problem?

Regards.
--eh.


@Manvendra: Do you agree?
