Yes but, with Postfix for example, you can set:

/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -d ${user}@${domain} -m ${extension}

so if you receive an email to [email protected] (or 
[email protected] according to your recipient_delimiter) dovecot 
will delivery the email in the Mailbox "vchkpw" and this is very useful.

I would like to reproduce this behavior with qmail.
