probably worth looking in to perdition, which will accept the connect
and then redirect on the username. But, you're still using 2 lots of
bandwidth (the bandwidth between the user and mail.mydomain.tld and the
bandwidth between there and mbox-blah.mydomain.tld).
It's probably better to just tell the user which is the correct server
to connect to, especially if they are hosted in different countries.
