dovecot - Dec 2008 - Replace Domainname in Mail Location

Hello,
I dont fully understand how the domain name replacement in mail_location 
takes place.

If I connect to the server using my username as in the text file i can 
not access my Maildirs as %d gets not replaced. If i user 
username at domain.com the %d is correctly replaced.

But, how would i configure my mail_location, to take the domain part 
from the server name i connect to? So i could set up my client to 
connect to mydomain.com and have just my username set as login? I did 
not find a variable that seems to be more correct than %d. So i guess i 
have to configure that elsewehre? In userdb?

Here is my conf

Do you have more than one domain? How about just forcing the username to
the domain? Like:

auth_username_format = %n at domain.com

(Or just not using %d at all anywhere)

I do have more than one domain. So "hardcoding" the domain somewhere 
will fail someday. Or i would have to make the username unique across 
domains? Which would not be a problem right now. But i'd rather not to.

And Choosing between using the domain name with login, and hardcoding 
the domain in file system structure i would choose using it in the login ...

Cheers
