postfix 2.0.16 and cyrus w/ full e-mail usernames.

[Edward Rudd]

My postfix 1.112 configuration is this

virtual_maps = ldap:ldapvuser
ldapvuser_query_filter = (&(objectclass=virtualinetmailuser)(uid=%s))
ldapvuser_lookup_wildcards = no
ldapvuser_result_attribute = virtualmail

mailbox_transport = lmtp:unix:/var/lib/imap/socket/lmtp

 I am not using relay_transport or relay_domains at all. And I'm not
sure if that solution would work well, as I can/will be hosting an
undetermined number of domains, and don't want to update the
configuration file and restart postfix every time. I'm using what was
labeled the "postfix style "virtual domains.. so for an e-mail delivered
to test at nowhere.org postfix looks up nowhere.org in the virtual_map and
if it exists then it searches for test at nowhere.org, @nowhere.org until
it finds a mapping for that address and delivers the mail. And if not
found denies the message as that user is unknown.  (this happens at RCPT
TO: stage).   I escaped the \@ so the entire e-mail address would be
sent to the LMTP for delivery.  I saw this method "many moons ago" on
this mailing list.

Is there a different transport I need to use to get the mail to post
with the full e-mail address to the LMTP? As don't I need postfix to do
that so I can get cyrus imap 2.2.x style virtual domains working?
