OK, but now an ongoing question:
in pipe-manpage, they just take [EMAIL PROTECTED] as
example-mailadress.
$extension is 'bar'
$mailbox is 'foo+bar'
$user is 'foo'
OK.
But what, if mail goes to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
And, in my master.cf, -m parameter is '$extension $user'
According to the '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'- example,
would the commandline be '-m bar foo' or '-m barfoo'???
I hope you were able to follow my argumentation....
I'm not very good at English :-/
Big Thanks in advance...
