Yes.  Actually, I have been dealing with this on and off for several
years.  I have never found an answer and other things come along
that require attention.  From time to time I get to return to it.

Eventually, yes, I wish to deliver to a sub-subfolder. At the moment
I cannot get plus formatted addressing to work at all.

None the less, a message from me is there and has no answer that I
can see.  Such was my previous experience as well.  The problem
might be because I posted through google groups.

However, what I meant by what I wrote is that I have gone through
the archives of both lists and retrieved and read message threads
which appeared to relate to my problem.  Without success.

What is it that you need to know?

The host in question acts solely as a final delivery host and
accepts incoming smtp connections only from our mail hub.  Sendmail
runs in two instances under MailScanner. ClamAVd and SpamAssassin
are both installed and running on this host under MailScanner as
well.

The host handles multiple domains and virtusertable is enabled and
in use.

I am a digest subscriber which is the cause of the delay in my reply.
