Hi,
With pam you can have IMAP accounts of the type: username.domain.tld so
that mail sent to is delivered to a cyrus account:
username.domain.tld
This needs the the option "unixhierarchysep: yes" is set in the
/etc/imapd.conf.
There are howto's showing how to achieve this:
http://www.delouw.ch/linux/Postfix-Cyrus-Web-cyradm-HOWTO/html/index.html
and
http://home.teleport.ch/simix/RPMS/Cyrus-imapd/contrib/Postfix+cyrus+postgreSQL+web-cyradm.pdf
In the new cyrus-2.2.x (now in beta) will be
allowed. Otherwise for now you can use the Perdition IMAP/POP proxy
server(http://vergenet.net/linux/perdition/) or get a patch (I think),
for the current stable 2.1.x series.
