If I understand correctly, you want to deliver mail for
user-foo@??? to "user-foo" if user-foo exists as a system user,
otherwise deliver to "user" instead?

I do this by having two routers, identical except that the first one has
no local_part_suffix (so it only accepts the mail if the address matches
exactly) and the second one has a local_part_suffix. If the second one
applies, then the suffix will be removed.

Cheers, Chris.
