%d gets expanded immediately when user logs in. So if your user is  
user at domain, this gets expanded to:

maildir:/usr/local/virtual/domain:CONTROL=..etc..

With %%d it would expand to the destination user's domain, but I don't  
think you want that either. If your users' mailboxes are in /usr/local/ 
virtual/%d/%n and you want them to be accessed, you'll need to use / 
usr/local/virtual/%%d/%%n as the path.

Unless you manually subscribe to the shared mailboxes, they're not  
visible to clients. Mailbox listing isn't supported currently.
