Plus Addressing


This help section describes Plus Addressing and the related settings available under the FilteringPlus Addressing page in the navigation.

General Information

Plus addressing, aka. subaddressing or detailed adressing, is a useful feature that allows recipients to organize incoming emails and to prevent websites from storing the real email address when filling in sign up forms. It can be used to create receive-only email addresses by adding a "plus tag" (a delimiter character and a suffix) to the local-part of the email address (i.e. [email protected]). Mail servers that support this feature can automatically redirect emails to the recipient's mailbox into the specified folder based on the plus tag, or the recipient can use automatic email rules to move the email to a separate folder.

Exchange Server does not yet support plus addressing, but until this changes, administrators can add "plus tagged" email addresses to existing mailboxes (aka. aliases), and/or create transport rules to ensure delivery. If necessary, ORF can be configured to remove plus tags from the recipient addresses of incoming emails (See: Plus Addressing Settings).
