They could use the "recipient_delimiter" for this.

$postconf -n | grep recipient_delimiter
recipient_delimiter = +

simon+paypalexample.com
simon+msnexample.com

Of course the spammers might figure that one out eventually, but most fall
into the stupid category. Besides if the spammers figure it out I'll just
change my email to s+i+m+o+nexample.com and refuse email to lesser parts of
the address.
