Multiple segmail users per domain

In fact, I already use a method similar to what Andrew suggests for parsing users. All of my users can make as many alias addresses as they want without contacting me and my mail server (postfix) will correctly figure out what to do.

ie If my e-mail address is abc@example.com, then I can make as many abc+anythingGoesHere@example.com e-mail addresses as I want. The plus character is configurable.

I already do a manual version of what segmail does whenever I have to give my e-mail address to a company. If I ever get e-mail from another company using that address, I block the address entirely and stop doing business with both companies. It has happened twice.
