On or about line 821 in the Dovecot.conf file:

#auth_username_chars = abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ01234567890.-_@

If you have not all ready done so, add the "+" to the end of the list
and un-comment the line. I believe you will have to restart 'dovecot'
for the change to take affect.

By the way, Postfix must be properly configured to pass the email
address to dovecot. I leave that as an exercise to the user. You might
want to start here thought:
