All my problems concerning the recipient parameter are the result of changing mailsystem from qmail+vpopmail (with default mail extension settings) to postfix+dovecot+lmtp (with non standard recipient_delimeter). Maybe you think, thats a very special situation and theres no sense in implementing that to dovecot. that would be ok too.
I wonder if you could do that address rewriting in SMTP server before handing the mail over to Dovecot. So that Dovecot only sees user+detail@domain.
maybe i missunderstood, but the real mailbox name is name-detail@domain and thats what dovecot sees. so i don't know, what rewriting to do.
I understood that you have to kinds of '-' chars in the username:
user-detail@domain user-name-with-dashes@domain
Where you could set the rewriting to give them to Dovecot as:
user+detail@domain user-name-with-dashes@domain
