my virtusertable file I have the following entries

firstName1.LastName@myDomain.com userName1
firstName2.LastName@myDomain.com userName2
signup.x10@myDomain.com error:nouser 550 No such user here
signup.+*@myDomain.com userName1
@myDomain.com error:nouser 550 No such user here


I have two users; userName1 and userName2 where each of them get their
email when someone uses their real full names. This works as expected.
When doing online shopping, one usually needs to sign up by entering an
email address. Since, I usually do not trust the site's "privacy
policy" I want to have a generic address I can use, but at the same
time be able to reject certain email address without ffecting others.

In the example above, emails sent to signup.x10@myDomain.com should be
rejected, but an email to signup.amazon@myDomain.com should go to
userName1 All other email address should be rejected.

The problem I having is that emails to signup.amazon@myDomain.com are
not going through. Am I doing something wrong? And if so, can any of
you .


BTW, do i need to have the following two entries as well?
userName1@myDomain.com userName1
userName2@myDomain.com userName2

Additional information, since email address appeared to be corrupt. I
repalced
@
with
AT

firstName1.LastNameATmyDomain.com userName1
firstName2.LastNameATmyDomain.com userName2
signup.x10ATmyDomain.com error:nouser 550 No such user here
signup.+*ATmyDomain.com userName1
ATmyDomain.com error:nouser 550 No such user here

signup.x10ATmyDomain.com should be rejected, but an email to
signup.amazonATmyDomain.com should go to userName1

BTW, do i need to have the following two entries as well?
userName1ATmyDomain.com userName1
userName2ATmyDomain.com userName2

The plus in signup.+*@myDomain.com is matched *literally*.
There is no '+' is signup.amazon@myDomain.com so there is no match.

Try signup+*@myDomain.com entry in virtusertable and
signup+amazon@myDomain.com as email address.

If you have not done so already, do some reading on User+Detail in side the cf/README file. I think you will find that it provides what you want. You can also use a character other than "+".

With User+Detail, you only need to have your self in VirtUserTable one time. With User+Detail, you would have the following:

firstName1.LastName@myDomain.com userName1
firstName2.LastName@myDomain.com userName2
signup@myDomain.com userName1
signup.x10@myDomain.com error:5.7.1:550 You are not allowed to send me email.
signup+x10@myDomain.com error:5.7.1:550 You are not allowed to send me email.
@myDomain.com error:5.1.1:550 nouser 550 No such user here

With U+D you do not need to create entries for any and all possible signup addresses you want. You just have to block those that you no longer wish to receive.

I also added the "5.7.1:550" to your error messages to cause the correct error to be returned.

I want to thank both of you (Andrzej and Grant) for the great advice.
I works as expected now.
