There are two main improvements:
a) *full* support for aliases in cyrus virtual domains
   user at cyrus.domain: ...
   [there were problems with aliases for "no such mailbox"]
b) cyrus virtual domains are listed in *single* place/file
   In RTCyrus2-mailertable the domains have to be listed in:
   * mailertable
   * access db
   [HUPing sendmail daemon is required in case of changing the list]

Due to *sendmail.cf* limitations it would require changes in Cyrus-IMAP
implementation of socket map server.

In current implementation Cyrus-IMAP ignores "map name". Proper over
quota handling should do something like recipe below:
* return current results for map named "cyrus"
* return "in reply" mailbox status for map named cyrus2
  mailbox OK => return "OK:mailbox" instead of current "mailbox"
  mailbox over quota => return "ERR:OVER:mailbox" instead of current way
  of "signaling problem" [sendmail.cf can't access "explanation string"]

P.S.
I think it is a YASA ("yet another simple after") solution :-)
