"catch all" alias?

Lo all,

I'm battling a bit to make a wild card alias...

I have the following in my alias file:

pmx-auto-approve*:  |/usr/local/pmx4/bin/pmx-qdigest-approve

I want it to catch anything AFTER pmx-auto-approve.  i.e.

pmx-auto-approve+<some random string here> <at> mydomain.com

I think a router with local_part_suffix = +* should do it.

you could use local_part_suffix in your systemaliases router, or in a 
copy of that router, just after the standard one, if you want to have 
exceptions.
In this second case you could have:

aliasA+bah: userBah
aliasA:	userA

and every aliasA+* (or simply aliasA) would go to userA, except for 
aliasA+bah that would go to userBah.
