I don't see how that is possible; there is a LOT of name collision
between domains. For example, almost ever hosted domain has a
'sa...@domain.tld
' and a 'webmas...@domain.tld' address.

Sounds like I will need to take a look a the Login Manager plugin...
Oh, now *that* I'd never even considered:
• make sure all usernames given on login page
have the domain that corresponds to the domain
in the URL of the login page appended to them
• allow users to log in with just a "user" when
in fact their IMAP login might be something
like "usern...@domain.com"
Hmm.. I will have to think about that. Clearly it has some benefits,
but it will need some retraining of the monke-- er, users.

It's a decade too late for that...

Local users are those who can login to the shell, it seems only polite
to have their email be part of their shell account, especially as some
things are a bit easier to do from the shell.
