How Do I do Plus Addressing or Minus Addressing

[chillax]

I want to be able to allow for plus or minus addressing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-mail_address#Plus_.28or_Minus.29_addressing

Has anyone done this with their installation of Plesk? I would appreciate if someone could give me a walkthrough of what I need to do. I also need to make sure that updating or restarting Plesk won't wipe out any changes I make to qmail files.

I am interested in this also. I tried out adding the proper entry to accept mail for user*@domain.com and I then added an email address via plesk. Plesk did not wipe the entry out of the /var/qmail/users/assign file but I still cannot send email to [email protected]. I suspect that plesk has another process out front that is bouncing this emails? That is the only thing that I can think of that would keep it from working properly. If anyone else can provide any input to get this working it would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT:

I suspect because the custom qmail queries the mysql database directly that there is no way to do what we want...

select * from mail;
select * from mail_aliases;
select * from mail_redir;
select * from mail_resp;


If we could figure out what maybe to put in here to catch like user*@domain.com. But I do not think it is possible. It sucks that Plesk did not implement something that qmail supported right out of the box. This makes me start to dislike plesk.

I found this:

as 1 option that seems to work.

Another option that works but re-enables bounce processing, which seems to be bad now, or some such is

delete all the lines from /var/qmail/control/smtpplugins The plesk will not check the email aliases before passing the message onto qmail. What this does is let's qmail bounce the messages which I believe means that a bounce message gets sent back to from: for emails when it is spam causing problems. So I would suggest you stick with the first option.
