Description

Ref:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email_address#Sub-addressing
rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5233

That's a bit of a complex story to work with!

As a starter :

• ValidRcptHandler needs to accept sub-addresses of an existing user
• IsLocalRecipient needs to accept sub-addresses of an existing user
• LocalDelivery needs by default to accept email for sub addresses but delivery them into INBOX
• And a SubAddressing mailet would check if the recipient did whitelist the sender for the target mailbox (k right) OR if the mailbox submission right is allowed for everybody (any)
  If so, then positions a storage directive for this email to go into the target mailbox for that recipient
• Of course integration tests (/server/mailets/integration-testing )

Contributions more than welcome on the topic.
