In an attempt to clean up my mail volume to my inbox,
I wanted to start using subfolders to receive logs
from the various machines I watch over.

After so debugging voodoo I realized that:
username+folder+subfolder@domain.dom

does not work and instead one is forced to use:
username+folder.subfolder@domain.dom

I believe this will pose a problem when I implement
the heirarchy separator patch as the new email address
is going to be
username+folder/subfolder@domain.dom

and / is not allowed in email addresses.

Now this may be specific to Exim (the MTA on the machine)
but I wanted to ask on the list if other MTA's behaved
similarly (especially Postfix since that is what I am
moving to next).

Further, does anyone have any bright ideas about how
to go about implementing the ability to send directly
to second level subfolders when using the heirarchy
patch?  I could create a more complicated perl script
to manage the mangling of converting "-" to "/" as
the mail gets processed so the address would now be:
username+folder-subfolder@domain.dom
but I'm not sure if this is the best way to do this.

All thought appreciated,
