The local (username) part of the address to the left of the plus is the base. Sendmail will look for .forward files in that user's home directory in the form of .forward+xxxx where xxxx is the part after the plus. If it doesn't find a match, it looks again for a standard .forward and then performs a normal delivery. That means you should be able to use an address like faxmail+phone-number@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx and have faxmail alias parse out an arbitrary phone number. I think procmail already gets the plused part as an argument during delivery so if you run the command out of .procmailrc you'd already have it - otherwise it can be difficult to interpret mail headers since you can't tell if a certain delivery is for a To:, or CC: or something not even in the headers. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell@xxxxxxxxx
