We use qmail to do this quite happily for several thousand domains.
Microsoft
products happily accept a username of user@domain.com. Netscape and Eudora
(and I think OE for the Mac) don't like it, I guess they parse the domain
as being after the first @ symbol, not after the last. In this case, we just
get people to use user%domain.com for their login.

Easy on a phone as well "your username is your full email address, if you
have problems, replace the @ symbol with the % symbol." Not had any support
issues on this either, which makes a nice change :)

Is there anyway to have a email username have a @ sign.

ex.. user would use username@domainname.com as a username to check their
email address username@domainname.com

We are trying to running multiple companies on one mail server. We are able
to do this with Radius.
