dovecot - Oct 2009 - Using sieve with virtual delivery & maildir

I am using Postfix virtual users/domains with Dovecot virtual delivery
to maildir style mailboxes. Now I want to get sieve working to sort out
a few minor delivery problems.

I want all mail with a message header "Delivered-To: foo+bar at domain.com
placed in the /var/mail/vhost/example.com/foo/new directory.

Would this work:

require "fileinto";
if anyof (header :contains "Delivered-To" "foo+bar at
domain.com") {
 fileinto "foo at example.com";
stop;
}

Running 'sieve-test' works OK; however, I do not want to implement it
and suddenly start losing mail.

Hmm, it's my impression that this is no duty for Sieve ... .

Well, install this script as the personal script of a test account and, 
please, tell us the result :)

So basically you just want the +bar part to be ignored?
http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Postfix
  explains how to configure Postfix to do it ("This example ignores  
address extensions" part).
