OK, so I added host/hostname key.  And the authentication against AD now 
works.  I guess this step can't be skipped...

However, I have several AD domains.  Is it possible to define list of 
users and to which domain (realm) they belong, so that they just type 
the username (which is guaranteed to be uniq across all realms in my 
case), and cyrus imapd/saslauthd autheticates against correct AD server?

If the only way is for the user to specify the realm (as in user at domain) 
when logging in (which I'd rather avoid, if possible), I have another 
problem ;-)

When I type user at domain in MUA, authentication goes well, but IMAPD 
responds with "invalid mailbox" message.  Do I need to create (in this 
case) all mailboxes as user at domain?  Or?
