actually when I talk of prefix/suffix I do not mean automatic mailbox
redirection. Also, on some systems Exim might not be completely
authoritative. On MacOSX Server one of the user records is some XML
that states if a user can or cannot receive email, and other mail
account related stuff.
Vanilla Exim does not understand that of course.
