[Dovecot] '+' addesses and Foldered delivery
Before I start tearing my hair out .. I am using sendmail 8.13.5 with the exact setting for the dovecot lda specified in the dovecot wiki. Does the mailer definition for the lda ensure that it can understand +'ed addressing for foldered delivery ?

No, Dovecot-LDA doesn't currently support that. I don't know if it
should by default. Wonder how Cyrus does that..
Probably best way to handle it would be to have some option in Sieve
script to specify if it's wanted or not. I don't really want to touch
the Sieve part of the code though..

Hm, a little unrelated, but what I'd really like to see is a dovecot-lda-light with the sieve and auth stuff ripped out, simply deliver mail to the path given on the command line (and update the index, of course, which path must be given if it's not default). Do you think that'd much to do? I could probably look into it next week or so...

I think that there is more, a while ago I tinkered around with this, too: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.mail.imap.dovecot/7896
There is one problem: How to get the information into Dovecot-LDA? Because the real recipient is available (in sendmail anyway) via the LDA's command line only, there has to be a command line switch.
Second: How to get the information into Sieve? The real sender is not necessarily mentioned in TO or CC, hence you cannot use the header or address conditions of Sieve. I'm not 100% sure about it, but you cannot get the "Envelope recipients" in sendmail, hence, one could hook into getenvelope() and abuse this functionality. Or Dovecot-LDA could add a pseudo header, e.g. real-recipient, or so.
