i think using a single dot will cause some problems. it will be impossible to
decide wheather [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] is meant with
"user.name.domain.com"

this would be a good idea for file repositories. a database repository could
implement this much more easy (using 3 columns - login, password, domain).

currently all domains handled by james are configured in the xml-config. if i
want to add a new domain, i have to change the config and to restart the
server. i thing a mailet (e.g. IsReceipientLocal) askes the config for a list
of valid domains.
my intention was to add a database repository that contains the list of valid
domains. if a class requests this list, it is loaded from the database. so
you could simply add a domain by inserting a new row in the database.
