well, since Qmail is pretty modular, it's pretty easy to make a default
handler to take all the addresses with + in them and translate to - and
resend, or like I said, recompile the binaries. AFAIK Exim is using "-"
too. cs.huji uses it, maybe someone from their SA team can give us that
angle? I know absolutley nothing on Exim, but I never hear about any
security reports, or banchmarks OTOH... anyone?
