I have another solution to solve the problem, but not sure right or not.
Since only user in default domain can't use domain name as their login 
name, I changed defaultdomain to "localhost".
Now all other domains are treated as non-default domain.
Surely all users in non-default domains are able to use fqdn login id 
(user at domain.com) for authentication.

The following is user adam.wonder at mydomain.com being added to the cyrus db:
# cyradm -u cyrus --server localhost
IMAP Password:
              localhost.mydomain.com> lm
user/adam.wonder/Drafts at mydomain.com (\HasNoChildren) 
user/adam.wonder/Sent at mydomain.com (\HasNoChildren)   
user/adam.wonder/Trash at mydomain.com (\HasNoChildren)  
user/adam.wonder at mydomain.com (\HasChildren)         

Is this sound right?

Thanks
Sam
