Can Postfix handle multiple address extensions like Qmail does (user-ext1-ext2@example.com)?

Qmail and Postfix support address extensions like
username-ext1@example.com
where emails will be delivered to username
, if the delimiter is configured to -
.
Users can handle mails with .forward
files in their home directory by default. (Or .qmail
for Qmail.)
Emails to username-ext1@example.com
are handled by the .forward-ext1
file if it exists, otherwise .forward
is used as fallback.
For username-ext1-ext2@example.com
Qmail tries .qmail-ext1-ext2
, then .qmail-ext1
and finally .qmail
.
Postfix tries .forward-ext1-ext2
and then directly .forward
without caring about .forward-ext1
.
**How can I get Postfix to handle multiple address extensions?** I want to catch all mails to username-ext1-*@example.com
without parsing headers myself in .forward
. – Did I miss something?
(This would also be useful for users who want to have multiple VERP-style mailing lists with simple separate configurations.)
