I think 'virtdomains:' and 'defaultdomain:' are broken...

[Adi Linden]

Hi Bruce,

I did as you suggested and the situation didn't change. And I had another
idea which solved the puzzle. I suspect the defaultdomain parameter is
meant for migration of a mail system from single domain to virtual domain.
Not quite what I had in mind.

In scenario 2, with 'virtdomains: userid' and 'defaultdomain: example.com'
im trying to login as either 'fred at example.com' or just plain 'fred'. In
both cases the username 'fred' is passed to saslauthd. The domain is
omitted. I then proceeded to create a new vitual domain 'dan.org' and a
user account 'test at dan.org'. When I login as 'test at dan.org' the login
proceeds and 'test at dan.org' is used for authentication.

So seting 'defaultdomain:' results in the default domain name being
stripped from the login. In my case, I am converting my users accounts to
the user at fqdn. But I hoped to give my existing users the option to
continue using their login without domain.

This solves the mystery. Now I have a feature request, add a
'appenddefaultdomain:' paramter to alter the behaviour of
'defaultdomain:' ...

Thanks,
Adi
