how to treat synonymous domain names as one

[Nikolai Krot]

Hallo

Thanks for your reply. I thought about using symlinks, i do not like this
solution. Anyway, it is acceptable for paths to passdb/userdb. Thanks for
the hits about user=xxx ! I will use it for paths to mail directories.
Thanks again!

Best regards,
Nikolai
