Dynamic Email Address making subfolders

[sHORTYWZ]

Not sure if this is more of an Exim issue or a CP issue, but hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

My forum software uses dynamic email addressing for bounce handling and sends out return addresses such as :

[email protected]

When I check in the 'xenbounce' account, the folder structure is a bit weird.

The above email wound end up in '5a7bd4e8+dave=myemail' and then a subfolder of 'com' would be created under that folder which would then contain the email.

Is there a way to avoid the second layer of folders being created and just have it go to '5a7bd4e8+dave=myemail.com' as I believe this is the intended behavior?

I am guessing that is being caused by the new Email subaddresses feature

Email subaddresses
This feature, also known as plus addressing, allows senders to route a message directly to the folder of a mailbox.

Email subaddresses use the [email protected] format, where username represents the username of the mailbox and folder represents the folder's name.

For example, if you send a message to [email protected], the mail server will route the message to the Important folder in the [email protected] mailbox.

Notes:

• If the folder does not already exist, the system will create that folder.
• You must subscribe to the folder in your email or webmail client for the folder to appear.

Possibly the repeated '+', or the inclusion of what appears to be a domain in the address part after the '+', is confusing it ?

Unfortunately, it does not look like it is possible to disable the Email subaddresses at this time. See the following thread for more information How to disable Email subaddresses
