I got the following error message in my exim logs:

unknown local part "monique+testing" in domain "host.com"

This is version 3.36.

In order to get dashes working (which is what I use instead of the
plus), I have this entry:

localuser:
 driver = localuser
 transport = local_delivery
 suffix = -*
 suffix_optional = true

I believe I only had to add the last two lines.

The keywords are slightly different in exim4, I believe.
