Perdition and mass migration

Hi,

I am planning a large pop3 -> pop3 + imap migration across data centers 
and countries.

I just found out about perdition and I need to understand if it will 
help solve a few problems.

1 - Usernames with ' . ' (dots) in it.

         There are several usernames with dots in it.  The destination 
server is a Cyrus Imapd with the default
         hierarchy setup (no dots).
         For what I read in the pertitiondb man page, I could use 
something like:

                 (.*)\.(.*):$1_$2@newserver:port

         Where the account in the new server will obviously have an 
underscore to replace the dot.

         Is this right?

2 - --outgoing_server* *SERVER_A,SERVER_B*
*
         It was not clear yet, how will --outgoing_server works.*

*        On each connection it will connect to one of ther servers 
only.  Is that it?
         If so, whats the advantage?
*
*        Or will it connect to both servers and retrieve messages from 
both? (what I need)
         I understand that on a imap server this is not so easy, but on 
pop3 doent seems to be a big challenge.

         If this is not how it works?  Is there something that could be 
done achieve this behaviour?


3 - virtual domain support: user@domain

         This is not clear to me.

         For what I understood, this will be split into user as the 
login and domain will be the host to connect.
         Is that right?
         If so, how can I prevent it?

         Also How do I map it?
         e.g.: user@domain to server:port

                 user@domain:user@domain@server:port

         is that it?


Thanks,

Raul
