With this way, you have postfix -> dovecot, calling dovecot deliver to
deliver the mail to a local mailbox. We don't have local mailboxes,
those are stored on another server. You'd need to call an external
program from deliver, which isn't possible.

Now if you can tell me the way to get the e-mail out of that "deliver"
program again into postfix, with the recipient rewritten to
user+mailboxx.y, then you made my day.
