You do not need ISP for this.   Use /etc/hosts

Well, defaultdomain takes care of unqualified userids and it has admin
implications.  The cyrus mail-store internals treat defaultdmain different
from other domains.  You can use defautdomain to convert/transition a
non-virtual cyrus server to a virtual setup without converting the cyrus
mail-store.  You cannot go the other way around.  Ken, please add/correct
if I am missing something.

Use testsaslauthd -u <userid> -r <domain> -p ...

Just pull HEAD.  You are bound to get broken code at times.  You should be
fine if you pull it now.  Timing is everything.  Just kidding.  :)  I
suggest you monitor the commits so you know what changes take place.
