Well, it depends on your mail server software. If it exports the
"recipient extra" data as an environment variable, it will work just
fine. Examples of such fine mail server software is qmail, Postfix and Exim.

That is bad. Have you told them about the issue?

Not if your mail server does not export the "recipient extra" data. It
is impossible to tell if "list-faq@example.com" is for "list" with "faq"
as extra data, or if it is for "list-faq" with no extra data.
Merry Christmas,
