Status of Cyrus and Multi-Domain delegation

[Michael Fair]

Cyrus has had some support for virtual domains
since the implementation of unixhierarchy separator.

There have been a few methods for 1 IP per domain
for many years.

The primary restrictions at the moment for hosting
multiple domains on 1 IP are only one SSL certificate
per server (this is pretty much true of all protocols,
not just IMAP), and a best practice of using the fully
qualified user at domain.dom as the end users login id.

Assuming you don't have a problem with those two
limitations you could have switched to Cyrus months
ago.  Cyrus 2.2 starts implementing a much more robust
set of features for virtual domains which will be useful.

Any searching of the archives of this list will have
revealed a plethora of information about this.

you can create either a host with a seperate ip or on the same ip as the
server itself.  Each host has their own users, groups, aliases, lists.  The
mailboxes can be stored in a seperate directory for each domain.
