True,  IMail  does  not  technically allow this character in usernames
added through the built-in admin interfaces. However, the character is
not  actually  rejected if it is used during the SMTP envelope, so you
can  therefore add an alias called "dummyuser," then edit the Registry
value

HKLM\Software\Ipswitch\IMail\Domains\<example.com>\Users\_aliases\dummyuser

manually to read ...\dummy&user, et al.

Note  that  I would not recommend trying to tweak the username itself,
since  such  a  username  construction  is  far  from  standard on the
Internet.   It's   best   to  have  your  users  "real"  usernames  be
IMail-standard, with the alias only in there for legacy compatibility.

This  is  quite  natural,  as  IMail  rules  run  after the message is
accepted for delivery--so the RCPT TO would have to be accepted during
the SMTP envelope in order for the rules to fire.
