This is a standard feature of sendmail. If your ISP uses sendmail, you've
got this capability. Sendmail ignores the plus sign and everything after it
when comparing for a username. It then hands the message to a "delivery
agent" to put it in the mailbox. On Red Hat systems (including Fedora) this
is typically procmail, and procmail can deliver to folders based on what
comes after the "+".

So just try sending yourself a message with a plus sign and something after
your name and see if it works. Chances are, your ISP runs sendmail and
Bob's your uncle.
