Dir insert like user+mailbox(_at_)foo

Hi.

On andrew, an ancient mail system used at CMU, it's possible to configure your
mail account so if mail is sent to 
userid+mailbox(_at_)andrew(_dot_)cmu(_dot_)edu, the mail
gets appended to a unix style mailbox in ~userid/some/path/mailbox.  I think
this is a cool feature.  I was wondering if I can recreate it with sendmail
and procmail.  It would be best if /some/path was configurable on a per user
basis, and that if mailbox doesn't exist the mail is sent to the regular place
mail goes.  I've looked around and I can't find an example of doing this.  Can
anyone point me in the right direction?

BTW, I'm using:

procmail v3.11pre4 
Sendmail 8.8.5/8.7.3

with procmail configured as the local deliver agent.

Reply via email would be appreciated.

Thanks.
