Hello,

I'm running 1.52.1 on Debian 8.9. exim: 4.89, eximconf_release: 4.4

I have been adding local_part_suffix to my exim.conf for years to enable email delimiters[1] or "plus addressing" as some refer to it as.

I have a valid user: [email protected]. joe uses [email protected] as one of his delimited addresses. [email protected] has, well, been spammed and now I'd like to dump anything that goes to that delimited mailbox. Creating a :fail: or :blackhole: forwarder for joe-spamme doesn't seem to work. Mail still seems to be delivered to joe.

The :fail: or :forward: works for invalid email prefixes however (ie: [email protected], where [email protected] is not a valid user).

Something I'm missing somewhere?

Thanks!
