Noel,

I created a file /etc/postfix/custom/mydestination and put my entry in there (hash) and added the following lines to /etc/postfix/main.cf

(only changes made to a stock 2.5.5 config)
mydestination = $myhostname,localhost.$mydomain,localhost,hash:/etc/postfix/custom/mydestination
recipient-delimiter = -
mailbox_command = /usr/bin/procmail

For some reason, when I do a postconf -n I get the mydestination line without the hash. I don't understand why. I probably don't need the rest of the entries for mydestination either. I copied them from another config. Anyway, does anyone know whey mydestination isn't seeing the hash:/etc/postfix/custom/mydestination entry?

postconf -n

alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
command_directory = /usr/sbin
config_directory = /etc/postfix
daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix
data_directory = /var/lib/postfix
debug_peer_level = 2
html_directory = no
inet_interfaces = localhost
inet_protocols = all
mail_owner = postfix
mailbox_command = /usr/bin/procmail
mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq.postfix
manpage_directory = /usr/share/man
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost
newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases.postfix
queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix
readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.5.5/README_FILES
sample_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.5.5/samples
sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix
setgid_group = postdrop
unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550

So if I understand the postconf.5 manual, the recipient_delimiter will strip the bounce- off the email address and deliver it bouncebounces.domain.tld as the originating email address instead of bounce-user=theirdomain.tldbounces.domain.tld.

That's how I'm reading how recipient_delimiter works, which is what I want it to do. Am I understanding this correctly? If so, that's pretty easy.

Yup. That's all there is to it.
