An alternative to Phil's suggestion is to use a pair of routers, one of
which notes the suffix with:
local_part_suffix = /*
headers_add = X-Local-Part-Suffix: ${substr_1:$local_part_suffix}

..and the other works without a suffix. Then Cyrus users can Sieve away to
their hearts' content!

PS I opted for "/" as my suffix delimiter, and I've had mail from an Exim
admin claiming I'm breaking the RFCs. Would it be outrageous to suggest
that the default configuration file only rejects local-parts which begin
with "/" (and "|" too!) as it does with "."? As it is, the default file
breaks RFC2822 exactly for weirdos like me who try to pick something
obscure but acceptable. That said, I have to rewrite "--" to "/" since the
number of web forms which tell me that <mb/whatever@???> is an
illegal e-mail address is increasing...
