Yes, I've seen a box where the Admin@ alias contained more
people than the admin@ alias (the latter was a subset of
the former).

Apart from that:  It is my opinion that milter-greylist
should try to be as RFC-compliant as possible, in order to
avoid any potential interoperability problems and pitfalls.
Parsing addresses conforming with RFC2822 correctly is a
very important aspect of that, I think.

By the way, Eric Allman himself strongly suggests that
mail names must never be "fuzzy", but must be exactly and
strictly matched.

Best regards
   Oliver
