hi richard,

i have the same problem. The problem is the realm that cyrus adds to the
username. Am I correct that you have set virtdomains: yes?
watching the debug log, it looks like this:
imtest localhost:
login with username at servername.domain.com
imtest servername.domain.com:
login with username at domain.com
imtest servername.domain.com (from another machine):
login with username at servername.domain.com <-- I don't understand this
part! But since I know this behaviour I just accept it :(
