Could you give me an example for the following? I can configure
amavisd-new to do + address extension.

## Deliver user+s...@example.com mails to /home/user/Maildir/.Junk

.Junk is also in Maildir format.

Sure. While I would prefer to see you try it yourself, this will
complete the thread for the archives. I gave Voytek examples for
virtual(8), so here's yours:

u...@server:~$ echo '/home/user/Maildir/.Junk/' > ~/.forward+spam

The file should be owned and readable by this user. Likewise,
/home/user/Maildir/.Junk/ needs rwx permissions for this user. The
trailing slash on the directory name is what tells local(8) that
you're using a maildir.

Most OS's that I have experience with have a /etc/skel directory
which is used to populate the HOME for a new user. You can't use
variables like $USER in a .forward file, and you obviously cannot
have an absolute path in a skel file, but this worked for me:

r...@server:~# echo '~/Maildir/.Junk/' > /etc/skel/.forward+spam

Quoting is necessary there to prevent expansion of "~". Consult
your OS documentation for information on new user creation and
default files.
