- MMDF has a facility whereby an address of the form "<user>=<whatever>"
- gets delivered to <user>, and the entire "<user>=<whatever>" address
- is still provided in the message envelope destination address.
-
- This allows users to operate on their own incoming mail via the
- "=<whatever>" key. For example, if I were to subscribe to a
- mailing list, say, "mail-zombies", I could arrange for mail to be
- sent to "jsweet=mail-zombies". This would cause mail from that list
- to be delivered to "jsweet", and I could key off the "=mail-zombies"
- part to sort my incoming mail automatically.
-
- So...has anyone implemented this "=" address facility as an IDA
- sendmail ruleset?
