Not fixing your issue directly, but pointing out what I use 
instead:
one can register a single gmail account, i.e. user@example.com,
and then becomes reachable under user+something@example.com .
Very handy, allows you to distinguish who handed out your 
address, and you get to keep all of the mails in one account.

Just using this for rather unimportant things, for everything
else I use postfix on a dedicated server.  It allows aliases
like something@ to be forwarded to a single account.
