Hmm. Do you need it as >username<? You could create usernames as
firstname_lastname@domain and use the virtusertable to map
firstname.lastname@domain to the loginname using the '_'.
Another posibility would be to use LDAP... Harder...
And yet another posibility (taken from man imapd.conf):
unixhierarchysep: 0
