I did some of these. I have separate users and domains tables and users_domains table
which allow me to serve users in many domains. But the problem is that you can't have
the
same username in different domains because mailboxes are named with username. We would
have to change mailboxes names to username@domain names or some uniqely generated
names.
There is another problem with access to these mailboxes with POP or IMAP. Not all
clients
allow to supply usernames in form user@domain. The alternative is to use these strange
uniqe mailbox names.
So I decided not to allow the same usernames to point to different mailboxes. But I
connected users and domains through users_domains table and I can configure server so
I
have user1@domain1 and user2@domain2 and not user1@domain2.
You can off course bypass this using aliases before delivery.

It's not necessary unleast you want to use separate DBs.
