RE: Munging hyphenated addresses.

Unfortunately that approach won't work, since it means that TMDA wouldn't
see any incoming spam messages.  I'm a bit confused as to why TMDA doesn't
preserve the original address if there's no tmda specific tokens.  This
seems v. broken.

For one, this is why I personally use the + as a seperator :-)

When looking at your logfiles, your postfix decides to treat mail
differently between line 9 and line 11 (look at the relay= entries). I'd
start by telling postfix that it only needs to do that in case of
multiple seperators, since TMDA usually uses more than one seperator.
Maybe you could even specify your filter so that only real
TMDA-generated addresses are sent through TMDA for verification.

Greets,
