           Summary: Exim cannot deliver mail to user-suffix@hostname; patch
                    included
           Product: Exim
           Version: 4.76
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: bug
          Priority: medium
         Component: Documentation
        AssignedTo: nigel@???
        ReportedBy: julian-exim@???

When uncommenting the local_part_suffix parts of the userforward router in the
default exim configuration, I find that I cannot receive mails to these
addresses because the address verification step (require verify = recipient)
fails. I have found a couple of mentions of this on mailing lists. I found
that I could allow such email addresses by adding a verification-only router
after the userforward one to allow such addresses, with something like:

userforward_vrfy:
debug_print = "R: userforward_vrfy for $local_part$local_part_suffix@$domain"
driver = redirect
domains = +local_domains
local_part_suffix = +* : -*
local_part_suffix_optional
check_local_user
data = $local_part
verify_only

If this is, indeed, the correct fix, please could you consider adding this
router (commented out) to the example config file?

Thanks!

Julian
