I'm not asking for every new feature, just one that I think fits in with
the current design of dovecot already and is a standard feature provided
by other servers. You already provide the ability built in to "strip
domains" per say, with the %u and %d values built in. To accomplish what
I would like to do, I only need to be able to pass whatever combination
of these values I wish to my passdb and userdb functions of choice.
