I was incorrect, it makes a difference in the BlueOnyx email functionality.
If a user on a BlueOnyx server with an email address johndoe at domain.tld
decides he will use JohnDoe at domain.tld
he will not be able to login to dovecot and/or receive email to that
address.
If I add JohnDoe at domain.tld to virtusertable he is allowed to login and
receive email at that address.
