How about replacing the @ symbol with a period? user.domain.com would
be a perfectly valid username. As for MTA, you can map the actual
address to the user's mailbox (ie. user@domain.com -->
user.domain.com).
You'd just have to remind your users that their login name is not
their exact mail address -- it'll be their mail address with the @
symbol replaced with a period. Not too hard.
In regards to having the home directories under a "domain.com"
directory, you can just specify the correct path when using adduser or
automate the process using a shell or Perl script.
