That will likely prove to be far more trouble than it's worth. Both Cyrus
and most Unix MTA's treat + as a seperator/extender, so info+example.com ==
info (but tells cyrus to try to file it into the example.com folder if
permissions allow)....
It's certainly possible to login as that user, the problem comes in
delivery, you'll need to change or disable the + separator in your MTA and
in Cyrus. Then you can have usernames with + in them. Better though to
just follow the 'de facto' standards, use .'s as separators in usernames.

Hi,
we have to take over all mailboxes from an other provider to our own
server. The login names on the old provider is nearly the full email
address but with a "+" instead of "@", i.e. info+example.com. How can i
deliver mail to such a user? Or is it possible to login with the username
info+example.com but act as an other user?
