2 more questions: domains and tags

I do not see any documentation on the website, nor in the FAQ,
about how this is handled. The concern I have is that so many
mail systems of UNIX origin handle this poorly, so I want to
make sure I'm not heading down a dead end path.
1. How does Cyrus-IMAP handle multiple domains on the same mail
server? In particular, bob at example.com and bob at example.net
being totally different, must be different mailboxes, and
must login distinctively, preferrably as "bob at example.com"
and as "bob at example.net" respectively (not "bob1" and "bob2").
Is this done so transparently with Cyrus-IMAP that it didn't
even need mention? Or is it not done at all?
Also, is there a way to allow an administrative access that
applies to just users of a specific domain?
2. How does Cyrus-IMAP handle tagged email addresses? What I
mean are addresses with "-" (or in some configurations "+")
appended to the LHS of the email address, followed by some
arbitrary identifiers the user establishes. Currently in
my shell based email setup, a user can set up a .forward-foo
file which specifies how the mail tagged with -foo is handled
or where delivered. If the .forward-foo files does not exist
then it is just handled as if it was not tagged, by the
"Delivered-To:" header still includes the tag.
Will Cyrus-IMAP deliver these tagged addresses into different
mailboxes, inboxes, or folders, if they exist? Will it still
deliver to the principle mailbox if not? Or will it try to
create tha tagged folder if it does not exist? Also, Is there
a way for the user to specify a forwarding address instead of
a local delivery?
FYI: my MTA is Postfix.
