Re: Tracking groups of email messages sent using the mail logs

Hi Wietse,

I have set recipient_delimiter = + in main.cf.

And I have tried encoding the sender address with my
own ID of 12345.

So the sender address (davidesagroup.co.uk) becomes
david+1234esagroup.co.uk.

Here is a clip from the maillog;

-------------------------------------------------
Nov 2 16:10:24 mailshot1 postfix/smtp[13027]:
42DA5CF67D: to=<kulviresagroup.co.uk>,
relay=mail.bridgecs.co.uk[195
.8.171.4], delay=1, status=bounced (host
mail.bridgecs.co.uk[195.8.171.4] said: 550
<david+1234esagroup.co.uk>, Sender unkn
own (in reply to MAIL FROM command))
Nov 2 16:10:24 mailshot1 postfix/smtp[13028]:
4DEEACF67E: to=<timesagroup.co.uk>,
relay=mail.bridgecs.co.uk[195
.8.171.4], delay=1, status=bounced (host
mail.bridgecs.co.uk[195.8.171.4] said: 550
<david+1234esagroup.co.uk>, Sender unkn
own (in reply to MAIL FROM command))
-------------------------------------------------

mail.bridgecs.co.uk is a Windows machine running
the mail system called MDaemon.

Does this mean MDaemon is not capable of understanding
plusses in the sender address ?

Thanks,

Kulvir.
