We're changing one of our backend systems that uses information in the email
address to classify it. We're also transferring from qmail to sendmail at
the same time.

The new system needs a single email address, so I was looking at the +*
syntak in the aliases. Is there any way to implement this when the address
*doesn't* include a '+' - ie the recipients are of the format
identifier-<random digits> [at] ....com and they all need to be mapped to
identifier [at] ....com to be fed into the new system.

Cheers,

Steve

Use regex (regula expression map) to rewrite envelope recipient from
identifier-<random digits> [at] ....com to identifier+<random digits> [at] ....com
