I made a lot of changes to vdelivermail somewhere in the 5.4 branch,
but I avoided making changes to the code you referenced. It was hard
to follow, and I wasn't even sure how I would go about testing it.
We should move the discussion over to the vpopmail-devel list.
vpopmail has a new maintainer now, so it shouldn't be hard to get
your proposed changes into the next release. Reading through your
email, I'd say your logic makes sense -- scanning should happen from
the end of the name, not the start.
