I tried scott+test/[email protected].  My Postfix 2.2 box accepted it and sent 
it to my domain host.  Their border MTA (also Postfix, version unknown to me) 
accepted it.  Their internal relay successfully relayed it to the delivery 
agent and the delivery agent lost it.

They are still investigating that last bit.

In any case, I don't think the slash prohibition is a generally correct 
statement for Postfix.
