Probably, but it does require the "LOCAL" environment variable to be set
to something like "user-autoarch-archname", where "archname" is the
make of the archive that will be created.  This is qmail-style extension
addresses.  I believe sendmail has the capability to do something
similar, only with "+" in the address.  I'm not sure that Sendmail
communicates that information to any sub-processes though...
