As Philip mentioned earlier today, the latest version of Exim has an
option to restore the suffix at transport time. Alternatively, I use a
router that actually peeks into Cyrus' mailboxes.db file to confirm
the deliverability of an address, which avoids sending it to lmtpd and
also avoids prefix/suffix and check_local_user problems (which I can't
use, because many of my Cyrus users are not local users). If you're
interested in doing it the latter way I could be convinced to post the
relevant parts of my config file... but many people will not want to
do this, since it involves working with Cyrus internal files.
