True, but some NT solutions will allow two mailboxes with the same 
username, because simply, they don't tie usernames to mailboxes.  They 
either create mailboxes in trees, something like:

domain1.com
  user1
  user2
  user3
domain2.com
  user1
  user2
  user3

which is an "explorer"-like view.  Or they create mailboxes like this:

  user1@xxxxxxxxxxx
  user2@xxxxxxxxxxx
  user3@xxxxxxxxxxx
  user1@xxxxxxxxxxx
  user2@xxxxxxxxxxx
  user3@xxxxxxxxxxx

Either of these methods work fine.  I understand there are also POP3/MTA 
solutions for linux that'll do it this way, but I don't know of any offhand.
