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 at 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.
