From sample-misc.cf:

# The propagate_unmatched_extensions parameter specifies what lookup
# tables should copy the address extension from the lookup key to
# the lookup result.
#
# For example, with a virtual table entry "joedomain joe.user",
# the address joe+foodomain would be rewritten to joe.user+foo.
# Address extensions can be propagated with canonical, virtual,
# and alias maps, as well as with .forward and :include: files,
# including mailing lists!!
#
# By default, only canonical and virtual maps propagate address
# extensions to lookup results. Enabling this feature for other
# types of lookups usually causes problems when mail is forwarded
# to other sites, especially with mail that is sent to a mailing
# list exploder address.
#
#propagate_unmatched_extensions = canonical, virtual, alias, forward,
include
#propagate_unmatched_extensions = canonical, virtual
