If you run cyrus-imapd without virtual domains, everything from the "@" should default to the machine's host name. I have one machine not using virtual domains, and hosts mail for domain2.org, domain1.com, domain(...).com; there are 6 on that machine. _All_ of the users have [EMAIL PROTECTED] in /etc/sasldb2. The users login with just the "username" part and all of the mailboxes are in the same directory (/var/spool/imap). To create a mailbox in cyradm, you use "cm user.mynewmailbox" (since you are not using the unixhierarchysep). If your machine hosts mail for mydomain.com, myotherdomain.com and theirdomain.com, any mail sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] will be delivered to mynewmailbox (if your MTA passes it along -- there are ways to block incorrect addresses, but we are talking about cyrus here). One caveat, however; and this is somewhat of an error in my previous mail (about omitting the "-u" option on the saslpasswd2 command); if your machine does not return the fqdn from a "hostanme" (actually, a gethostname (2)) command (SuSE is one that returns only the local name), you _do_ need to use the "-u", and it should be set to the fqdn of the machine. I had spent some time trying to make it so that users would use their e-mail address as their login, but gave up and just used the above method. Now that I am converting the machine for virtual domains and to use LDAP for authentication, all the users will have to change. Oh well ... .
