dovecot - Aug 2011 - Multiple domains to one inbox and temporary redirects...

Hi

Can anyone point me to a howto to arrange for multiple domains to deliver to one
inbox with Dovecot?  For example, user1 at example.com and user1 at example.net
should both be delivered to /var/spool/mail/virtual/example.net/user1

Currently, I have the dovecot LDA set as:

dovecot   unix  -       n       n       -       -       pipe
  flags=DRhu user=mailsystem argv=/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -f ${sender} -d
${user}@${nexthop}


and in dovecot.conf:

mail_location: maildir:/var/spool/mail/virtual/%d/%n

For some domains only, I need to override that mail_location.


Related to that, when user1 leave and user2 would like to receive user1's
email, how can I get it so that email to user1 at example.com is delivered to
user2 at example.com?  Previously when I was using Postfix to deliver the mails,
I could change the maildirloc in the DB - but I?m not sure how to accomplish
this with dovecot LDA.

Again, any pointers would be welcome.

Thanks.

I'm using Postfixadmin to manage users and have server alias-domains. 
All mail sent to an alias-domain is delivered to the other domain. Quite 
easy if you've got postfixadmin already setup.

Otherwise I think you could configure virtual_alias_maps in postfix to 
something like hash:virtual_domains

virtual_domains:
@example.net    @example.com
