Re: [Assp-user] Imail, submailboxes & recipient validation.

[Cameron B. <cam...@ya...>]

I don't know if it's universally common but certainly a lot of MTA's have 
the capability built in - there's a link I stumbled across trying to find 
the RFC that deals with +submailbox addressing 
http://www.faqs.org/faqs/mail/addressing/ dunno if it helps or not but it's 
certainly a pseudostandard.

I can live without it - but it would be nice to have that if an incoming 
email address contains a + (or - which is also sometimes used as a 
submailbox delimiter but unfortunately also in hyphenated email usernames - 
maybe have a variable to set for which version applies with your MTA in the 
ASSP config) it ignores the text between the delimiter and the @ and tries 
to match the base username@domain against the flat file?
