This:
Feb 16 10:05:56 server dovecot: Panic: IMAP(user): file istream-tee.c: line
144 (i_stream_tee_read): assertion failed: (ret > 0)
auth-worker died.
That happened with Dovecot 1.1.4, 1.1.7 and 1.1.11, 1.1.7 was not with me, was
with another user I found, on some mailing list. The problem occurred when
copying or deleting messages, sometimes even viewing (Webmail). Since it's a
production server, I compiled the latest 1.0.x and I'm using it. This
particular server was running Ubuntu 8.04 (the default package is 1.0.x) and I
upgraded to 8.10 (the default package is 1.1.x).

One dovecot server which receives mail to two domains and does not forward the
mail anywhere, it's the final destination for the two of them.
I already have usernames that are unique, by using Dovecot variables I have
username~domain.org as the actual username/mailbox name.
I want to have two mailbox roots, this way, even knowing that mailbox names
are unique (john~domain.org != john~anotherdomain.org) and when authenticating
(from what you wrote down here about passdb) j...@domain.org will not be
confused with j...@anotherdomain.org, even so, I want all mailboxes from one
domain to sit on a different mailbox root.

Ok, so, I have 3 aspects to consider:
a) When mail arrives
b) When user logs in to check mail
c) Where mailboxes are located
a) Since I can make mailbox names unique with Dovecot variables (mailbox name
is "susan~domain.org" which is different from susan~anotherdomain.org), when
mail arrives, the mail message will be saved to the correct mailbox (even if I
have, under the same mailbox root, two users with "susan" as the login, but
from different domains).
b) Since you said, on Dovecot 1.0.x, I can have two passdb ldap{}'s, when the
user logs in, he/she will be redirect to the right mailbox, not the "other
susan".
c) Ok, the two above give me the possibility to have all mailboxes, from the
two domains, under the same mailbox root, users will be unique no matter the
scenario (mail arriving, user checking mail), BUT, I would like to keep them
separated anyways, is that possible to force that?
