I have glanced at these and see a challenge.

First ClearOS will NOT support my mail requirements, as I create users 
by domain; ie user at domain and ClearOS allows a user to send receive mail 
from all configured domains.

It looks like at least the howto on dovecot.org above works the same.

Further it looks like dovecot keeps all the mail in one database?  I 
can't be sure.  The way I am running right now is that each users mail 
is a file per message in:

/home/vmail/domain/user  The maildrop module (I think) does this 
distribution.

I will spend a bit more time digging into dovecot to see what it will 
take to set it up for user at domain functionality.  Maybe it does in these 
howtos, but I don't see it....
