If you're using a database for authentication, you can do this sort of translation past using stored functions in MySQL. Queries look something like this:
password_query = SELECT userid AS username, domain, password FROM mail_users WHERE userid = addr_to_uname('%u') AND domain = addr_to_domain_or_default('%u', 'domain.com') ...
Thanks, I was hoping for something less complicated. I found auth_username_format %n which drops the domain if supplied. Unfortunately my imap username isn't 'mgrant'. Probably i could make this work if there was no other way. This forces me to have my IMAP password the same as my unix password.
I probably should move to virtual users for everyone on my box but that's not so easy. I was hoping there was some way i could translate individual users which would make this transition easier.
You can use that technique, though, to implement any sort of translation table that you could build into an SQL query. Just a suggestion.
