One comment, though: I don't really know much about IMAP, but IMO
creating mailboxes on the fly is not advisable. I mean, how can
a user know that he suddenly became a proud owner of ten more
mailboxes, only because someone sent him mail to user+foo@domain,
user+bar@domain, etc.?

You can somehow filter them out (and kill them, redirect them
somewhere, etc.) by doing something like:

filter_slashes:
driver = smartuser
suffix = +*
condition = "${if match{$local_part_suffix}{/}{yes}}"
fail_verify
# ^^^^^^^^^^^ or something

Note the "or something" pseudo-comment. It's an undocumented
directove present in Exim versions 3.089 and later, implementing
an experimental DWIM mechanism.

... Or you can put a reverse condition on your other directors.

You can set check_ancestor on your aliasfile director and create
an alias file like:

sales:    sales
*:    some@???

A very nice configuration.
