Nope Bill, sorry. As was noted in my thread, it looks to be a SASL
issue. Because some SASL plugins require a hostname, rather than IP,
SASL apparently does a reverse DNS on every connecting IP.
Maybe I'll move a request over to the SASL list to look into whether the
reverse DNS can be on a per-enabled-plugin basis (thus if I only have
enabled plugins that don't require reverse DNS, it doesn't occur). But
my personal problem with it was resolved - I kicked my ISP in the rear
and got them to fix their DNS setup. Being a local cable operator, they
actually do respond to customers' technical requests (*gasp*). :D

Would this help your reverse DNS lookup trouble? Or will using the
unqualified name still trigger a reverse lookup?
It doesn't appear to help my situation, in that I'd like logins without a
qualified name to use just the bare username and NOT append a realm onto it.
Is this possible?

Configuring Virtual Domains
Introduction
Virtual domains is the practice of hosting a service for more than one
domain on one server. Cyrus IMAP has the ability to host IMAP/POP
mailboxes for multiple domains (e.g. [EMAIL PROTECTED] and
[EMAIL PROTECTED]) on a single server or Murder.
In order to accomplish this, Cyrus needs to know which domain to look
in when a mailbox is accessed. There are two ways in which Cyrus can
determine the domain:
* Fully qualified userid - the client logs in with a userid
containing the domain in which the user belongs (e.g
[EMAIL PROTECTED] or test%example.net)
* IP address - the server looks up the domain based on the IP address
of the receiving interface (useful for servers with multiple NICs
or using IP aliasing)
Both of these methods are active if the virtdomains option is set to on
(or yes, 1, true) and can be used in conjunction with one another. If
the virtdomains option is set to userid, then only the first method is
used. Note that a fully qualified userid takes precedence over a domain
obtained from the IP address.
