I was looking for this option a year or so ago. I was converting a company from a hosted email 'system' to an in-house email server using postfix+dovecot. All of the accounts were local accounts (for various reasons), and the old system allowed either just the username or the full email address. I ended up going to each computer and changing the options manually.
strip_username_after='@' is pretty generic. But I'm not sure its the most elegent solution.
Normally it wouldn't matter, but it would be a great feature for migrating to Dovecot.
