I understand that technical issue, but what I wanted was a possible solution 
based on plain usernames.

This is because I want to make the transition from dbmail to dovecot completely 
transparent to users and
clients, and dbmail just uses plain login names, indepentend of what e-Mail 
alias would then in dbmail be
mapped to which login name.

The plain solution above now works completely transparent for IMAP with 
dovecot, and it is also documented
in the wiki that dovecot is domain agnostic. That is great news for my setup.

Where I am very flexible is delivering mail: I could use dovecot-lda or 
dovecot-lmtpd, or postfix doing the
work itself or whatever. It is just that I did not find any solution, and this 
is why I was asking for help
here.

So, is there a way for dovecot-{lda/lmtpd} to accept "[email protected]" but 
checks for "user1" in the user
DB?

If there is some other idea, I would be happy to hear about it.

Thank you, again,

Matthias Hofer
