Allowing emails with a plus (+) symbol to land in the same Zimbra mailbox


I want to allow emails like [email protected] instead of simply [email protected] using Zimbra - this is a feature on Gmail.

Does anyone where to begin looking to allow this to work? Postfix?


Solution

  • Yeah, postfix is the right place. Look at recipient_delimiter in the postconf docs:

    recipient_delimiter (default: empty)

    The separator between user names and address extensions (user+foo). See canonical(5), local(8), relocated(5) and virtual(5) for the effects this has on aliases, canonical, virtual, relocated and on .forward file lookups. Basically, the software tries user+foo and .forward+foo before trying user and .forward.

    Example:

    recipient_delimiter = +
