HOT DOG! You learn something every day.

If this is what I think it is, I used to allow this when we used qmail
but could not find with Postfix. Following standards was more important
to me than the -something extensions, so I just lived with it.

So, let me verify...

If I have a user mailbox that is named jqpublicexample.com, I can use
jqpublic+newsnetexample.com and it will be delivered to the jqpublic
mailbox.

If that user also has an alias of john.q.public, can they receive email
at john.q.public+newsnetexample.com?
