According to "man virtual":

ADDRESS EXTENSION
       When the search fails, and the address localpart contains
       the optional recipient delimiter (e.g., user+foodomain),
       the search is repeated for the unextended address (e.g.
       userdomain), and the unmatched address extension is prop-
       agated to the result of expansion. The matching order is:
       user+foodomain, userdomain, user+foo, user, and domain.

What I see happening is half of this. First of all I changed the
character from + to - using:

recipient_delimiter = -

since I had an enormous amount of stuff already using - from having
qmail prior to postfix. I just recently tried to do some more
fancy variation of this by having in "virtual":

slashusr.org VIRTUAL
slashusr.org philipal.net
webmasterslashusr.org philipal.net

and sending mail to "webmaster-xyzzyslashusr.org" with the file
named ".forward-xyzzy" and ".forward-webmaster" set to write to
their own mailboxes. But that didn't happen. Instead, the mail
went to my main mailbox. So it seems the part about "the unmatched
address extension is propagated to the result of expansion" does
not seem to be working. Are there extra steps to enable ot use
this?

I'm still using 20010228-pl03. Has then been known and fixed in
a more recent version?
