plus addressing

[YuGuY]

Is it possible to allow "plus addressing" when registering a new user?
Some of my clients asked to send mail to add a tag in their mail address, but it seems not to be allowed.

More info about plus addressing:

It looks fairly straightforward; search for exim here.

However changes will have to be made because our exim.conf file allows forwarding, aliases, virtual email addresses, etc.

And note also that this page oversimplifies the issue; it only allows all plus addresses to be accepted. It'll require quite a bit of postprocessing in exim.pl to make it work for only specific addresses. Without a major addition to exim.pl and a plugin or major change to DirectAdmin to manage plus addresses on a per user level all plus addresses are going to be accepted to that email user; The user is still going to get all the email in his/her main email box, to be sorted locally.
