Well since you asked. If you pass something like foo...@notarealdomain.xyz sendmail will see foo@... but will pass it on as foo+bar@... This way you can do something like foo+amazon_spam@... when asked for an email address by amazon and then see if amazon is selling your name to anyone else. The problem is that non-sendmail clients might not see things that way and will see foo+bar and try to deliver to foo+bar and sence no admin would let someone use + in a user name the message would bounce back to whoever sent it. At least thats my understanding of things. You may want to veriphy that with someone else. So when i say its a bad choice its not realy that sendmail might mind but some other clients might. -- --(tty...@faux.local|04:45|/home/faux)-- cat .sig GUI's are for slackers.
