You DO NOT need a catch-all, rather you need to set the "recipient_delimiter" to match the one used in your VERP envelopes, and configure mail delivery for the "base" address (sans extension). -- Viktor.

So, I need to implement catch-all setup. I have tested the script with IMAP and am not satisfied with the result.

This is expected behavior. Not to mention that a catch-all is a Really Bad Idea(tm) to begin with. What problem are you trying to solve by doing this?
