Yes it works with that in main.cf

receive_override_options=no_address_mappings

and that in master.cf:

-o receive_override_options=

and now, I've the good value in X-Original-To (the value of my alias :-))

I try something else:

I add this in main.cf:

recipient_delimiter = +

to be able to receive mails for thierry+x so it will be given to the
account thierry.

but I've that in logs:

Jul 5 15:31:35 debian postfix/pipe[4669]: E7AF758871:
to=<thierry+xxxx.eu.org>, relay=maildrop, delay=713, status=deferred
(temporary failure. Command output: /usr/bin/maildrop: Invalid user
specified. )

Do you have an idea of the problem?

Another thing, so as the mail is deffered, it gives me another idea, so
I looked for how to see the content of defered queue in postfix and how
to cat a deferred mail and how eventually move a deferred mail manually
in my inbox folder.

I found how to see the content of defered queue with postqueue -p and
how to cat a deferred mail with postcat -q id > file for example, but I
didn't found, how to move it manually to a folder, if I want...

Do you have an idea of that problem too?

Thanks :-)
