You want virtual mailbox domains. You only need one real user, and
the rest can reside in some kind of map (be it DBM, LDAP, MySQL or
whatever). Read VIRTUAL_README.

Virtual mailbox domains do not share namespace, so your requirement
comes if fulfilled.

Yes, but do not try with LDAP the first time. Use a simple map (dbm or
hash) to get it working, then start worrying about LDAP.
