Postfix user at domain splitting

[Ricardo Branco]

That was done for testing to see if it made any difference when I moved to LDA, in LDA mode it seems to not care if that 
is %n or %u, it always takes the first part of the email address which is weird.
Ive just tested again to confirm on %n and its not working so ive reverted again back to LDA which does. Seems to not 
matter how that variable is set it does not do anything.

When using %n ive tried to see if I can login via IMAP with the whole username but again no, this is the error, note the 
difference between the 'user' field on each line.
