This is not possible with primary_mail (not without code changes), but
you could try to keep "primary_mail = %(uid)s@%(domain)s" and define
policy_uid. Policy_uid setting supports the same syntax as
secondary_mail or similar (there are some differences).

I don't know why primary_mail config is not compatible with
secondary_mail. I suppose we would accept a patch for this.

Globals are in [kolab] section, in domain sections you can overwrite
globals for specified domains.
