[Dovecot] Address Extensions with System Users

I am using Dovecot 1.2RC2 with Postfix 2.5.5.  Everything is running fine.
 I would like to start using address extensions and have e-mail
automatically filtered into folders based on the folder name after the "+"
in the e-mail address.  I only use system users, no virtual users.  I have
Deliver configured in main.cf as:

mailbox_command = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver

Everything I can find about setting this up applies to virtual users which
I do not have.  How do I get Deliver to recognize the address extension. 
I am sure it is easy, and I apologize for not finding the answer out
myself.  Here is a copy of my dovecot -n output:
