common question - dot in email prefix

[Fred Blaise]

Hello all

I am sure this question has been asked zillions of time.. I have gone
over the wiki (very quickly I must say) and googled a bit... but please
show indulgence towards the newbie at Cyrus :)

Is there any way at all to create mailboxes such as user.fname.lname ?
ending up as fname.lname at someco.com ? I kinda read that with the Unix
path separator, it would work, so I tried / and \ before the dot, but
nothing. I must have misunderstood.

Thank you for your patience :)

fred
