if you want to use MySQL with the virtual delivery (that may be the
case if your users login/password/... are stored into a MySQL database),
please note that you will have to setup at least 3 different MySQL lookups :
- one for the mailbox ( mapping userdomain.net => /home/imap/domain.net/user )
- one for the UID of the mailbox
- one for the GID of the mailbox

however, if UID and GID are all the same, or if they aren't stored in the
database, consider using a flat file or a pcre map (these lookups cost far
less), holding a "constant" or "per-domain" lookup.

suggestion : is there a way to do a "if-file-exists" map lookup, that means
lookup(foobardom.org)="/home/imap/dom.org/foobar" if this file (or directory)
exists, and "nothing" if this file (or directory) does not exist ? checking
for file existence looks less expensive than connecting to MySQL...

I'll be happy to hear some comments about that.
