Doug: you were right on. This was the problem. My hosts file had "John" as the user, not j...@domain1.com. I replaced it and everything works fine. By the way, this seems like a "bug" in the documentation. Nowhere does it mention that the "user" entry has to be the user's e-mail, and not just the username. (I think I saw somewhere that using apache utils (I am using lighttpd) you can let it infer the user's e-mail from the username - is it true?)
