You mean the +detail you can add to an e-mail address, as in
username+detail@example.com ?
That should just work. It's generally supported within sendmail.cf so
long as you configure a local mailer that can handle it -- in your
case 'FEATURE(local_procmail)' will be sufficient.
One exception in the .mc file: the +detail stuff is not preserved when
looking up an address in aliases or .forward files unless you add
FEATURE(preserve_local_plus_detail)
Otherwise, you will need to make provisions in genericstable and
virtusertable to support it:
genericstable -- you need both of these lines:
john j.doe
john+* j.doe+%1
virtusertable -- '+' is a wildcard match character, and you end up with
%2 containing 'detail' and %3 containing '+detail', so you can do:
j.doe+*@thefirstplace.com john-doe%3@elsewhere.com
which also covers the case where no +detail is given.
Cheers,
Matthew
