We are running a similar system with a few hundred users.
We are using OpenLDAP instead of NDS (All Linux), The system is managing
multiple domains.

You may run one Cyrus server per department if you want the resources to
be really separate.
Otherwise there is no big need to create multiple partitions.

The solution I have is to use
username_domain_tld where TLD=Top Level Domain.
Example [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s uid is
user1_department1_org
and [EMAIL PROTECTED] is user1_department1_net

Cyrus will not allow you to have "." in Mailbox name , and its not
<user@domain> its <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Not all domains are .com
you may want to look at an opensource product called ISPMan.
www.ispman.org. That will give you a pretty good idea on how you can
setup a system with Linux, and it will manage the multiple departments
with an LDAP server.
