I suggest something like (Exim 4 config, can be adapted for exim 3):
Create a router like:
ticket_router:
driver = accept
local_part_prefix = mail-ticket+
transport = ticket_transport
Then a transport like:
ticket_transport:
driver = pipe
command = /usr/local/bin/spool-ticket.pl $local_part
In particular, the local_part_prefix option means that the router only
accepts addresses with those local parts - and then it strips the local
part for you.
Can't be sure the above is 100% accurate, but I hope it provides you a
starting point.
