so I tried this:
/^([^._\/-]*)[._\/-](.*)@arix\.com$/ ${1}+$...@arix.com
which seemed to work fine, except for the underscores. thinking that
they might be meaningful to the set declaration I tried:
/^e_j...@arix.com$/ e...@arix.com
which also failed... so I'm mystified but I'm happy that now e/j...@arix.com
, e.j...@arix.com and e-j...@arix.com all land in my box... curiously
the address isn't actually rewritten (so I actually see the character
used). also e...@arix.com and e+j...@arix.com still work.
any light on the underscore would be cool.

Exactly.
if so, would you share your pcre? this I would really like to do
because a lot of sites don't allow + in the address
Which is exactly why I did it.
The virtual_sql.pcre file is basically this:
/^sales_(.*)@example\.com$/ sales+$...@example.com
/^info_(.*)@example\.com$/ info+$...@example.com
/^bob_(.*)@example\.com$/ bob+$...@example.com
I have one line for every email address
The SQL one is the same, but is for all the sql stored users. I
thought about making this a lookup, but I don't have enough users to
make it worthwhile, and building the list is pretty fast.
ls -1 /usr/local/virtual/ | grep "@" | \
sed 's/^\([...@]*\)@\([^.]*\)\.\(.*\)$/\/^\1_\(.*\)@\2\\.\3$\/ \1+${1}@
\2.\3/' > \
/etc/postfix/virtual_address.pcre
I'd suggest reading the thread "Re: address rewriting with pcre?"
from March of this year since Wietse referred to my method as
'unsafe'.
What I have works for me and I have few enough addresses that I can
easily spot any problems. (for example, no email addresses on my
system have odd characters that need escaping in the username
portion, and no domains have multiple .'s)
