Hello,

What should be changed to make it possible to receive tagged emails and let them automatically redirect them to the correct mailbox. I prefer to use the plus sign (+) as a separator between the user and the tag part.

Address tagging information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email_address#Address_tags

I found that it should be possible, however I didn't manage to get it working based on the SpamBlocker Exim config. Does someone know what and how to alter things?

Regards, Mark
 
@mr.applesauce:

streamservice already said he didn't get it working trying with exim.conf.

@streamservice:

I was hoping your link would have code for exim. It didn't. If you can refer me to an example of the code published on the 'net, I may be able to tell you where to put it.

Hello Jeff,

An example from the standard configuration is located here: http://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch47.html#SECTmulbox

Support for .forward files is not required (as DirectAdmin has forward options). Splitting it up is something that could be done in the email client.
 
I don't have time to study this now; I'm getting ready to leave for the HostingCon (hostingcon.com) Conference. But have you tried this code (from the page to which you link):
Code:
local_part_suffix = -*
local_part_suffix_optional
It might be as simple as inserting the above two lines above the allow_filter line in our own userforward router.

Give it a try.

Jeff
 
Thank you for your quick reply. I tested it, however it is delivered to the wrong mailbox when I add the lines at that location. I think the perl script (exim.pl) has to be altered (but I'm not sure).
