How to hand over mails from postfix to cyrus

[Oliver Demetz - Hardware-XPress.de]

OK, but now an ongoing question:
in pipe-manpage, they just take foo+bar at example.org as
example-mailadress.
$extension is 'bar'
$mailbox is 'foo+bar'
$user is 'foo'
OK.
But what, if mail goes to foo at example.com??
And, in my master.cf, -m parameter is '$extension $user'
According to the 'foo+bar at example.org'- example,
would the commandline be '-m bar foo' or '-m barfoo'???

I hope you were able to follow my argumentation....
I'm not very good at English :-/
Big Thanks in advance...
