But how do you get Exim to pass the suffix to LMTP? I use a router to
match the local user plus a +* suffix, and then specify my LMTP transport
(I use LTMP over localhost TCP/IP). When I run Exim in verbose mode from
the command line, I see Exim send the message to Cyrus without the suffix.
It seems that a router with a suffix specification, removes the suffix
from the localpart, and puts the suffix into an Exim variable. That is
very useful normally (ex. filters, pipe transports, etc.) , but not so
useful for LMTP.
