There are some unofficial hacks to do virtual domains in 2.1, there's
reasonable support for it in 2.2.

A LHS of "foo+bar" will do roughly the following:

- run through a sieve script, if the script takes any action, that
happens.

- if a message is just "kept" (or there is no sieve script), then it will
attempt to file into user.foo.bar, if 'anyone' (or whoever the message is
authorized as) doesn't have the 'p' permission, this will fail.

- message is filed into the INBOX as a last resort.
