qmail and the default delimeter

qmail and the default delimeter

[fifadd]

I have got another problem with qmail. The mailing list works fine, but
if you try to subscribe it, or unsubscribe, you got an error because qmail
default delimeter is '-' not '+'. Also vpopmail use '-' for the aliases.
Is there some way to recompile qmail forcing to use another delimeter, but
is not so easy. I think that you have to modify the way to work of mlmmj
to manage '-' and '+' delimeter _together_. Actually mlmmj manages the delimeter
with the following constant. What happens if I change it and recompile mlmmj?

#define RECIPDELIM '+'  /* XXX Warning: not changable at the moment */

At the end I will write a README as you have asked me.

Well, it's not possible at the moment to use other delimiters than '+'.
Is there a way to rewrite the addresses like they do on gentoo.org
before qmail pass them on?

Sounds great.

I don't know, is possible to do something "after", just before /usr/bin/mlmmj-receive
command, maybe with maildrop or procmail, but it doesn't solve the problem.
Do you think that you can patch this in a few time? It's seems not so difficult
looking your code.
