whilst going through the FAQ...

faq2.2. How to make administration more flexible when employing a large 
number of Kolab servers without forcing the users to change the setup of 
their clients?

suggests using DNS A record for *every* email address.  Is this still 
the recommendation?

Sendmail ( maybe postfix as well ) allows every email alias to have a 
'mailhost' ldap attribute.  If the mailhost attribute's value is not the 
localhost or a localhost alias, then the mail gets routed to the server 
specified in 'mailhost' attribute.  This allows a mail hub/router scenario.

examples are here.

faq2.3 - Cyrus 2.2 supports virtual domains.  But it's only from CVS 
now, although it's been very stable.  It makes the entire process of a 
kolab_uid transformation unneccessary since a user's Cyrus username is 
his/her full email address.
