man getnameinfo:


FILES
        /etc/hosts
        /etc/nsswitch.conf
        /etc/resolv.conf


It all mainly depends on getnameinfo() returning a fully qualified
hostname so that a domain-part exists for further processing. Somewhere
after getnameinfo() the hostpart will get stripped and that only works
if getnameinfo() returns a fully qualified hostname and not just a
unqualified name like "localhost".

So if getnameinfo returns

localhost.somedomain.com

for your locally bound imapd and

outside.somedomain.com

for your public accessible imapd everything should be fine if you have

defaultdomain: somedomain.com

Btw. did you try commenting out the servername option in your imapd.conf
? Would that change the mysql-queries to other lookups ? I just saw that
you are using auxprop mysql and I remember now that auxprop mysql sets
the domain to the servername for unqualified users for the lookup if you
have %r somewhere in sasl_mysql_statement (that is /etc/hostname or the
servername option in imapd.conf for me) ! So how does your
sasl_mysql_statement config look like exactly ? Does it contain %r ?
Does the value substituted for %r for _unqualified_ users match your
defaultdomain :-) ? What happens if you set servername: somedomain.com
(which looks incorrect but could make things work here...definetly
breaks with murder however...) in imapd.conf ? At the point you are
using %r there are not any unqualified users anywhere and %r gets the
servername automatically for unqualified users! Will the
default-servername used by cyrus be fully qualified or not
(/etc/hostname I think) ? Do you have nsswitch.conf setup to use
/etc/hosts ? At least there seems to not be a ptr record for the IP of
toy.hudat.com in DNS but that may be ignored if getnameinfo() honours
your local configuration.
I bet you also ran into the auxprop mysql %r thing here just like me. I
remember there was something confusing with %r and global
admin/defaultdomain. At least it was my problem that days and took me
hours to figure out :-)
