Exim is great for virtual domains.
Look at these config samples (and others) from the website

I have never tried it, but cyrus-imapd-sql has virtual domains support.
I don't know where docs are, but you can find it at

If you want to pay to have an IMAP daemon patched to work with virtual
domains (separate passwd files and separate mail directories per domain),
let me know.
