I was. You could lookup the local part too. But that would require two
lookups anyway.

A (possible) solution that will require only one lookup. Have one lookup
map of with the entries of the form:

    user:   ${quote:foo$local_part_suffix}@???
                    ^^^ <- new local part  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ <- new domain


And a router:

redirect:
    driver = redirect
    domains = ...
    local_part_suffix = +*
    local_part_suffix_optional
    data = ${expand:${lookup{$local_part}dbm{/path/to/map.db}}}
    qualify_preserve_domain


Only one lookup, but quite an ugly map.

Another format for a lookup map could be:

    user:   local_part=foo  domain=bar.example.com


And a corresponding router:

redirect:
    driver = redirect
    domains = ...
    local_parts = dbm;/path/to/map.db
    local_part_suffix = +*
    local_part_suffix_optional
    data = ${quote:\
            ${extract{local_part}{$address_data}}$local_part_suffix\
        }@${extract{domain}{$address_data}}


There is more than one way to do it. WARNING: untested, do not assume
this will work.
