it was very difficult to guess it from my previous mails

FINALLY - the solution is realy elementary. Each user from one domain MUST 
have the same uid ans gid identification ;o)
(e.g domain.org -> mailownerdomain.org plus many 
of users with the same identification ...)

So the first part of the problem is solved ! The next will follow (nothing is perfect).

yes, i want to store password in mysql database. 
According to README.mysql_auth i've created 
the domain and popbox tables (exactly to README), 
fill one record into each of them and trying to connect.

+-------------+-------------+---------------+-----------------+------------+
| domain_name | unix_user   | password_hash | path            | max_popbox |
+-------------+-------------+---------------+-----------------+------------+
| linux-cd.cz | linux-cd.cz |               | /var/spool/mail |       1000 |
+-------------+-------------+---------------+-----------------+------------+

 and everything went smoothly. Of course there is little security risk to
allow all users to write to spooldir :( This is potentional problem. But 
there will be no real user onto the system ...

Maybe i prepare local_procmail and move all domain mails to the special
directory ...
