[Dovecot] Hostname Based forwarding

Trying to figure out hostname based IMAP proxy forwarding.


I have two mail servers: 

  
mail.example.com
  
mail.fakedomain.ca
  
proxy server running dovecat/IMAPS, facing the Internet.


*Both* names are DNS resolve(able), but.., both are the *same IP address.*  

For example: Joe configures his email client

  username: joe at example.com

  IMAP Addr: mail.example.com


For example: Jane configures her email client

  username: jane at fakedomain.ca

  IMAP Addr: mail.fakedomain.ca


So, now all clients must change their user-name in their email client to
their full email address, because there is a Jane & Joe on "both" servers
and..., dovecot proxies based on 'user name' 

Is there a way to proxy based on the host name the client has configured in
his/her email client?  (Like Apache VirtualHosts)

This would be ideal, as the clients can then go back to using just their
name as the username.

Thanks 

Rick
