And wouldn't recompiling qmail with strange enough conf-break ('\n'
comes to mind, '@' or something >127) help? I don't know RFC821 good
enough to tell you, but there should be some character which cannot
appear in the username, shouldn't it?
Actually, I can't see any problem with user creating subaddresses. I
doesn't do too much different stuff from what a "read the subject
and react" kind of procmail script does. The only thing is to make
the conf-break which will not appear in user names (space, newline,
backspace, at, whatever).
