Has anyone on this list got sendmail and cyrus-imapd configured so that email addressed in the form username+folder@example.com gets delivered directly to cyrus' user.username.inbox.folder?
I have been tinkering with this on and off for about a week and no matter what I have tried, all traffic addressed in the +folder format ends up in user.username.inbox instead.
If anyone has gotten this to work then I would very much appreciate knowing the exact steps that you followed to implement it.
1. I am not changing smtp MTAs, the legions of fans of qmail and postfix notwithstanding.
2. Ditto for imap and dovecot.

This is not a matter for the MTA. You have to configure that in the MDA. e.g. if procmail is the MDA then in a procmail recipe.

Sendmail handles it to the extent of looking for a .forward+additional in your home directory (if it has read permission)and can do the things you would do in a .forward file (redirect to other addresses or a file) but for cyrus folders the delivery program has to do it.

Ah, I didn't know about the .forward+.
