[imp] IMP 3.1 / user@domain.ext on virtual domains

[Tobias Eigen]

Hi Amith, 

Thanks for your help. I think you've nearly got it - the only change I'd make 
is that I want the hook to strip off not only the @kabissa.org in what you 
described, but also the @foo.com or @bar.com - for the login to IMAP. For IMP 
prefs and the default identity I'd like to keep user@foo.com and user@bar.com 
as you described so these can be kept apart. 

Would it be possible to do this with the vinfo hook? 

Cheers,

Tobias
