[Dovecot] dovecot and virtual hosting

[Vegard Svanberg]

Hi.

A usual hosting provider setup depends on having one IP ("virtual
mailserver") per domain.  Using dovecot on servers handling hundreds or
thousands of domains today equals to having multiple instances of
dovecot running. 

This problem could be solved by making dovecot take into account the IP
address the user connects to and authenticate against the proper
{database, table, pw-file, [...]} based on that.

Comments?
