Okee-Dokee then... I respect that you don't see the need.

Please respect that I do, given that I'm planning to migrate 1500+ e-Mail accounts, distributed across 35 domains, currently under Qmail+Vnailmgr (ick...again) to Courier.

The Courier virtual domains & users feature set is great! Really. But, I must (really must, not optional) make this transition as smooth for the subscribers as possible. This means that I must allow for the notion of "bob" @someplace.com; and another "bob" @otherplace.net to authenticate as "bob" without adding @someplace.com, or whatever....because it would require coordinating these changes with tons of folks. They will not appreciate the exercise, and I will risk loosing customers.

[ By the way, are you somehow insulated from paying customers? ] [ Just curious.. ]

Courier is so very close, especially with the database authentication options that I just had to ask the users group about I.P. based virtual domains.

If you don't see the need, then you don't see it.. Fine.

Anyone out there done this, or working on it?
