Subject: usernames with 's in them.

hey.

we have a slightly weird setup where we actually have usernames with 's in
them for virtually hosted stuff. so we would have a passwd file entry that
looked like this:

adamdomain.com:x:1404:1:Adam Shand:/home/domain.com/adam:/usr/bin/passwd

in sendmail i could make this work by having a virtusertable entry like
this (the \ escaping the sign so it will deliver to a local user):

adamdomain.com adam\domain.com

i am having trouble making postfix emulate this functionality with the
virtual file, so i suspect i'm either approaching it wrong or looking in the
wrong place.

any help would be appreciated.

thanks,
adam.
