Ok I need to clarify.
I don't have a "joe" mailbox yet. I would like to be able to have two
"joe" mailboxes called for example: [EMAIL PROTECTED] and
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
In my current usage of Cyrus IMAP I've not been able to do this because
I've been creating users with a command like cm user.joe ..... Without
the FQUN.
Then through the Postfix config files I tell Postfix which virtual
domain joe belongs to.
So currently "joe" can only exist in one virtual domain.
My question is how do I go about setting up users in Cyrus IMAP and
Cyrus SASL so that I "could" have a user "joe" in multiple virtual
domains?
Thanks for the replies everybody...

I have TWO joes(s) in TWO different domains but they "live on the same
IMAP box... Because I'm using Cyrus IMAP the users mailboxes aren't
mapped to system accounts so Postfix just passes any mail to unknown
"non-system accounts" on to Cyrus for delivery. So the question
becomes how do I enable such a setup so that Cyrus will deliver the
mail to the correct mailbox?
OK you had one Joe on one domain and he was receiving mail fine. You added
another Joe to another domain and now all mail goes to one of the Joes. It
sounds like as Ciprian said it is an MTA issue. Postfix is stripping the
FQDN before passing mail on to Cyrus.
Since he said that users to not exist as users on the underlying machine to
me it looks like "virtual" and/or "virtual_mailbox" in Postfix. Simply
create a different joe say joesmith as a mbox on Cyrus and split delivery in
Postfix via "virtual_mailbox" mechanism. But then obviously I'm no Cyrus
guru, most likely it can also be done in a "pure Cyrus way".
Hi
I mentioned I do not use Postfix (I found Exim more suitable for me -
and although there is not a howto like the postfix one there is very
good docs on exim.org). When creating users in Cyrus using sasl the
domain can be specified meaning they are distinct. If a MTA strips
the domain from an email address and passess it Cyrus will add the
default domain to the user. This is the impression of the problem I
got from Jim's posts although if he has managed to have mail
delivered to virtual domains already this does not quite make sense -
basically if Cyrus is already delivering to multiple domains I cannot
see why there is a problem with users with the same name before the @
in an email address (unless there is something particular in Jim's
configuration). Hope this is of some help to Jim - if not let us
have a look at imapd.conf and I might be able to suggest something
else.
