Can I create first.las@domain.com user account using Dovecot?

Here's what I do. Create accounts like this: 'first.las.domain.com'

In dovecot.conf: add '@' to "auth_username_chars = " set this: 'auth_username_translation = @.'

This will allow an '@' in the username, then translate it to a '.' before doing authentication.

This is only necessary if the used user database or password database doesn't allow @ characters for some reason. So the answer to the original question could just as well be "yes" :)
