Hi Ry.
Cyrus cannot handle virtual hosts, the way we want.
The solution I propose is to use user names like.
atif_developer_ch
this will not collide with atif_developer_com or atif_developer_net
The only problem they cause is that the user frown on using the long
username.
Unfortunately there is no Host header in IMAP or POP3 as there is in
HTTP 1.1.

If you are only offering webmails then you are in luck, the users will
not know about the long name issue.
if the are at webmail.developer.ch and they enter username: atif, then
you can with php or javascript convert it to atif_developer_ch

there is more information about this problem and solution at

And if you find yourself using and managing lots of domains and users,
then have a look at
