You might be able to achieve this with the virtual(8) delivery agent, since it can target arbitrary directories and UIDs.
Also consider the "+" separator, as in user+foo@domain, which is integrated with the virtual(5) lookup in a reasonably intelligent way and may suit you.
Of course, what we could really do is implement SIEVE (RFC3028) in a LMTP delivery agent for Dovecot. It'd attract a lot of the people currently depending on Cyrus.

This is a bit off topic on that list. But the question is required because of a limitation of dovecot. It cannot have shared mailboxes into which one would collect mailing list mails. I assume one has already solved that problem and therefore ask this question on that list.
I try to do the following: I would like to setup an alias dovecot@kzone.ch and subscribe this alias to the dovecot mailing list. Then I would like to create an alias to run maildrop with the correct parameter to put it into the directory ~ski/Maildir/.dovecot/. Of course, there is no user dovecot on my system and if there would be one she couldn't write to a directory owned by me.
Is there a trick to do the following:
ski -> ~ski/Maildir dovecot -> ~ski/Maildir/.dovecot postfix -> ~ski/Maildir/.postfix
Any other idea?
Any good documentation on that?
