Doesn't seem to work. If I set a fake domain, cyrus just checks the user
against the hostname of the machine, or some truncated form of it. I can
see this cuz I am using mysql as the auth backend, and I am watching the
queries as they go through. The following is my imapd.conf:

configdirectory: /opt/var/imap
partition-default: /opt/var/spool/imap
admins: cyrus at hudat.com
sasl_pwcheck_method: auxprop
servername: hudat.com
virtdomains: yes
hashimapspool: true
unixhierarchysep: yes
altnamespace: yes
sasl_mysql_user: blah
sasl_mysql_passwd: blah
sasl_mysql_hostnames: blah
sasl_mysql_database: blah
sasl_mysql_statement: SELECT blah FROM blah
sieveusehomedir: false
sievedir: /opt/var/spool/sieve
sendmail: /usr/sbin/sendmail

I tried adding "defaultdomain: fakedomain.com" and even setting
"servername: fakedomain.com" without it making a difference. Any other
suggestions?

Btw, I do appreciate the help, in case I didn't mention it before :-) I
love cyrus, it's a great little imap server :-)
