Hello,
We have a client where they have their default address set to deliver all unrouted mail to a forwarder which then is supposed to go to a real mailbox on the server.
So it goes *default account* > *forwarder* > *mailbox*.
The client has mentioned that in the past, he has had no problems with people sending emails to his domain with a + sign in it. For example: [email protected]
However, recently he has noticed that none of these emails are being received. Running an exim test returns the following:
# exim -bt [email protected]
mail to [email protected] is discarded
There seems to be no global or individual mail filters on his cPanel account.
Also, if I run the same test as above but without a "+" sign then it shows a successful delivery to the desired mailbox.
We set up an identical setup on a different cPanel server and it delivers perfectly fine through to the desired mailbox as well.
Are there any settings in Exim that would prevent the use of a "+" symbol?
Thanks!
