    Just to add my 2c....

    Although the numbers are low in the samples that you look at, I would suggest that the comment below regarding these being likely to be people with security responsibilities is likely to hold true.

    I think that this is a fairly ubiquitous feature of mail providers these days (with the notable exception, I think, of the default Exchange setup) even if it's not adopted by users that often.

    I'm sure not sure what the underlying stack is to gauge how much effort would be involved (e.g. a change to an SQL query vs needing to retrospectively update a bunch of metadata that's generated at import time, etc) but I would suggest that there are a couple of implementation routes for this:

    - Add this to the search facility, that user@domain.com will search for both the provided address as well as user+*@domain.com
    - Leave search as-is, but setup +stuff in the notifications much like whole domain notifications. This way, presumably, no need to retrospectively update data, rather just handle this during the import of new data.

    Lee Brotherston supported this idea  ·
