Not tested, but I think this plus addressing feature by Cyrus-IMAPd
works only with one "plus expression".

Sieve isn't involved.

Couldn't quickly find reliable information on how Postfix treats plus
addresses by using google. If using the Cyrus-IMAPd feature it is just
important that it does not strip the plus address part. For Sendmail
there is

FEATURE(`preserve_local_plus_detail')

to be set in the sendmail.mc.
