Yup, 
that's what we do around here, also, but you are NOT contradicting Piotr, the 
username, taken as a whole "joe.d.user at example.com" IS unique 
_throughout_the_whole_server_  as Piotr says.

You should be seriously tempted to inform your users to use the "#" instead 
of "@" since many clients (most notable Netscape) try to be clever than you 
and when you say "joe.d.user at example.com" as "username" in POP configuration, 
help you by translating it to "joe.d.user" :-(

It is possible to change (at least in Nestcape), but only by means of editing 
a config file by hand...
