dovecot - Feb 2008 - Plus sign in usernames: user+domain.com?

I am migrating from a cpanel server that has usernames in the format 
"user+domain.com".   On the new server I am using the format 
"user.domain.com" and it all works perfectly with dovecot / postfix. 
Is
there any way that I can allow users to login either with the "." or
"+"
delimiter?   

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Since the plus sign is used as the default delimeter for 
'plus-addressing', it should just work - but means you'd have to
specify
a different character to use for plus addressing.

The normal way to do virtual domains is to simply use the full email 
address.

auth_username_translation = +.

replaces all "+" characters in username to ".".
