With cyrus 2.3 you can enable:

lmtp_fuzzy_mailbox_match: 1

>From imapd.conf

       lmtp_fuzzy_mailbox_match: 0
            If enabled, and the mailbox specified in the detail part of the 
recipient (everything after the '+') does not exist, lmtpd will try to find 
the clos-
            est match (ignoring case, ignoring whitespace, falling back to 
parent) to the specified mailbox name.

So then you can do things like replace " " with "_" and it'll deliver. eg

jondoe+test_mailbox at myserver.com
