Wrong guess. This was our own (ever-evolving) creation after some years 
of courier (and qmail) experience with only real user accounts and aliases.

No, the - is never taken away or substituted, it just adds additional 
features. The authlib lookup for hosted domains always contained the 
literal destination address, that now gets altered in a destructive way. 
You can no longer distinguish between user-foo and user+foo.

I saw you just introduced a configuration for this. So we can have the 
old behavior back until we decide where we want to go. Thank you very 
much for this. It will surely solve our present issue but I still do not 
like the idea that authlib does not get the literal destination address 
if plus is configured as extension separator.
