Depends on your Configuration.

If you want to use "." in Mailboxnames, you should use "unixhierarchysep: 
yes". Otherwise user.user at domain.tld will be

user
... user at domain
... ... de

With unixhierarchysep enabled, the Path is user/user at domain.tld

Then you should have virtdomains turned off.
