Too bad you couldn't convince them use a From address in the form of
'12345.booking@???' (where the number is random), it would be
trivial to setup an alias such as '*.booking: bookings' and adjust your
system_aliases router from:
system_aliases:
driver = redirect
allow_fail
allow_defer
data = ${lookup{$local_part}lsearch{/etc/aliases}}
file_transport = address_file
pipe_transport = address_pipe
to:
system_aliases:
driver = redirect
allow_fail
allow_defer
data = ${lookup{$local_part}partial1-lsearch{/etc/aliases}}
file_transport = address_file
pipe_transport = address_pipe
