You could replace . by + with a pcre-based virtual alias
/^([EMAIL PROTECTED])\.([EMAIL PROTECTED])@example\.com$/ [EMAIL
PROTECTED]
but this would unfortunately also match non-existent users,
and that would be a bad idea for servers facing the Internet.
So it's really practical only if you can hard-code the username
/^wietse\.([EMAIL PROTECTED])@example\.com$/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]
This limits the solution to small sites only.
