Like the other poster said, this is not possible, and you need your
users to specify their entire e-mail address.
I'm currently setting something like this up for my own company, and
basing it on Courier (www.courier-mta.org). I have the following setup:
- Completely virtual accounts for all users (so no accounts for
mail users in the regular password file, only in a
mail-users-file)
- Virtual domains, each their own users/passwords etc
- Account info stored in mysql/postgres/gdb-file or textfile
- Imap/Pop/Webmail based on the same system with virtual
accounts
- Support for SSL/TLS in all subsystems
(POP3S/IMAPS/Webmail-ssl, esmtp-tls)
Setup was quite doable with the on-line documentation and some googling
Using the virtual accounts also makes sure the users can never login
using ftp/ssh/telnet/whatever, only for pop3/imap/esmtp/webmail (and you
can give them separate passwords for each if you want, so when you only
give them a pop password they cant use webmail and vice-versa)

The courier install docs will help you there...
