Thanks for your reply! It pretty much destroys the concept of
automatically extracting the subaddress.
I suggest a different aproach now: A new router option, like
sieve_vacation_directory, named local_part_subaddress, that is available
as variable in Exim filters and as subaddress extension in Sieve. Since
it is a router option, no change to the address_item is needed. (Philip
will be glad to read that.:-)
That way, admins can use whatever string expression they like to compose
the subaddress. It is set at the same place prefixes are set and just
as flexible as my previous suggestion.
