Actually three functionalities here:
1) virtual domains (email at domain1 is another user than email at domain2)
2) virtual domains with separate admins for each domain
3) multidomain (email at domain1 is same user as email at domain2)

To be compatible with the IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, usernames may only
contain letters, numbers, period, underscore and hyphen. Not conforming
to that standard might break a lot of things. For example, I can't
authenticate with pam_ldap with an @ sign in a username.

The DN can be user at host, no problem, we can tell cyrus to use the e-mail
for authentication, but the uid attribute has to be posix compliant.
