No, what I am trying to get is "user" and "example" in "user at example.com"

That would break many things, but I will look into it. What I have done for now and is working is a much more complicated process where I am manually removing the '@' myself:

require ["copy", "variables", "envelope", "fileinto", "subaddress"];

   if not envelope :matches "to" "backup" {
    if envelope :matches "to" "*" {
        set :lower "name" "${1}";
        if string :matches "${name}" "*@*" {
                set "email" "${1}_${2}";
        }
        # Only replaces one '.' But that's OK at this point.
        if string :matches "${email}" "*.*" {
                set "name" "${1}_${2}";
        }
        set "backup" "backup+296.${name}@...";
        redirect :copy "${backup}";
        }
   else {
     redirect :copy "backup+296 at ...";
   }
}

This properly redirects a copy of the message to, for example, backup+296.kremels_kreme_com at ...

If all goes well, the 'else' will never trigger. 

I will try your suggestion if the implicit ^$.

Thanks for the advice, I will definitely give that a go,
