I have found that there seems to be a way of using one user for all the 
virtual mailboxes with courier - is this possible with cyrus? IE one 
mailbox which dishes out virtual mailboxes.
I want to be able to administer users in ldap, and not have to then 
change passwords etc anywhere else, so cyrus would have to check the 
user against ldap.
