Currently i m using postfix as my mail server. but i m having problem when i have to add additionl domain to my server. I can't get the same username for 2 domains like hans@xxxxx and hans@xxxxxx hans@xxxxx and hans@xxxxx will be treated as the same user by Postfix. And there is no interface for me to admin virtual domain in postfix and as i heard it's easy to do it with qmail since qmail has a lot of interface to admin like qadmin, vpopmail etc.

I m not an expert in mail server, sorry i wasn't try to compare between postfix and qmail. I really need an interface for postfix to admin, and if there is no interface for postfix, i thought i will be easier for me to do it with qmail

please enlight me with this issue :
As far as i know, Postfix can handle virtual domain, but it can not has
the same username for virtual doman. For example I have 2 domain on my
server :
- domain www.a.com and
- domain www.b.com

If i have a user named 'hans', and hans is with a.com domain, then i'll
have hans@xxxxxx If b.com domain has a user also name hans, then Postfix
will not be able to see there are 2 hans, but only 1 hans. Thus, i can
not have hans@xxxxxx Am i right?

No. This is true for domains in $mydestination, but not for domains in
virtual_mailbox_domains.

On the other hand, qmail will be able to do that. And there are many
additional tool for qmail to set that up like vmailmanager, vpopadmin
etc, but not postfix.

What problem are you trying to solve? If the question is "can Postfix do
that?" the answer is "yes, it can, and a lot more, too".
If the question is "Which MTA should I use?" The answer is "Use the one
you are able to administer and debug.".
