With Cyrus IMAP, you can Bcc "uid+Sentdomain", but this requires opening
up public "Post" access to the "Sent" folder. Other people can create
mail in your sent folder you never sent yourself. If that is an acceptable
risk, ...

Postfix delivers mail to mailboxes, not folders. The folder delivery is
up to the IMAP LMTP server.

If you restrict your MSA to authenticated users and enforce login vs.
sender matching, you can enable the "bcc" above via sender_bcc_maps.

If you are not using Cyrus and LMTP, you could potentially still use
the address extension to target a specific maildir sub-folder. The
details depend heavily on your choice of MDA and IMAP server.

If my response solves your problem, the best way to thank me is to not
send an "it worked, thanks" follow-up. If you must respond, please put
"It worked, thanks" in the "Subject" so I can delete these quickly.
