OK you had one Joe on one domain and he was receiving mail fine.  You added
another Joe to another domain and now all mail goes to one of the Joes.  It
sounds like as Ciprian said it is an MTA issue.  Postfix is stripping the
FQDN before passing mail on to Cyrus.


Since he said that users to not exist as users on the underlying machine to
me it looks like "virtual" and/or "virtual_mailbox" in Postfix. Simply
create a different joe say joesmith as a mbox on Cyrus and split delivery in
Postfix via "virtual_mailbox" mechanism. But then obviously I'm no Cyrus
guru, most likely it can also be done in a "pure Cyrus way".
