hello guys ;)
I'm using cyrus-imap + cyrus-sasl + postfix as my mail system
it works fine
but I need to add an account with a dot in the name (e.g. mario.pavlov@domain)
and I don't know how to do that
I'm using cyradm for creating mailboxes..
can anyone help me, please ?

While it's common in *addresses*, it's arguably bad practice to include dots in *accounts* (it's achievable, but not reliably portable). FWIW, I handle these as aliases to a simpler account name (either in the aliases file or in $virtual_alias_maps).

For example, my /etc/postfix/virtual might contain this:

 mario@xxxxxxxxxxx           mario
 mario.pavlov@xxxxxxxxxxx    mario
