This is the folder it is delivered to.

drwx------   5 vmail  vmail   512B Oct  7 11:56 foo+bar/

I am using maildir format.

/usr/local/etc/postfix/master.cf

#Dovecot with '+' addressing
dovecot unix    -       n       n       -       -      pipe
  flags=DRhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver
  -f ${sender} -d ${user}@${nexthop} -a ${recipient}

I have not been able to get sieve working yet. It will take awhile.
