We use the local_part_suffix for all users, then they can choose to give out
different addresses to different websites and use filters on any incoming mail
based on addressee - for example I use merlin-slurm@… for the slurm mailing
list.
This way they can automatically file/trash mail from a lea

Thank you Heiko and Merlin,
lookups are my really weak point ;-) and my lack on a grasp on regex
