I'd like to switch to dovecot-ltmp delivery. That would recognize this user only as u@a, so mails to u@b fail. What's the best approach to fix that? Symlinking from b to a in /var/mails doesn't do. I could get rid of the re-writing but I need to avoid side-effects. Re-writing back doesn't sound a good idea. Any other suggestions, perhaps in lmtp?</p>
