With "defaultdomain: localhost" defined in the imapd.conf file, it 
doesn't solve the problem for authenticate smtp. In the Outgoing Server 
dialog box in Mozilla mail client, I have the check-box of User name and 
password checked and type in user name adam.wonder at mydomain.com, but 
authtentication failed when sending email. Only adam.wonder is able to 
authenticate. But authentication with Cyrus-imapd(2.2) must use 
adam.wonder at mydomain.com and it is successfuly. Seems inconsisitent.

what''s wrong with this?
