Is it just sendmail which doesn't make the distinction, or is the
equivalence of plussed addresses guaranteed by RFC822?  I don't see any
mention of the plus being special there.

It comes down to a judgment call.  Supporting special Sendmail features is
nice, but what happens when Novell hacks something that works the same but
looks differently into GroupWise?

Of course, if this is an accepted standard it should probably be supported.
