Hi again, trichard,

<Preliminary note:> first try below with things as-is. Then try adding
the following line to /etc/imapd.conf:
loginrealms: post.mydomain.com mydomain.com

restarting the cyrus master process after changing /etc/imapd.conf.
</Preliminary Note:>

First, try:
imtest -u test at mydomain.com -a test at mydomain.com -t '' localhost

and try the imap command
A01 select inbox

If I understand your setup correctly, this should fail.

Then try
imtest -u test at mydomain.com -a test -t '' localhost

and then try the imap command above. I suspect that this should succeed
(not sure whether it would be before or after modifying
/etc/imapd.conf!).

Mike.
