The first address would be the virtual domain admin of mail.ugent.be, 
the second is a global admin - you have to set a SASL secret for 
cyrus@<servername>. In case your servername is mail.ugent.be you should 
delete the first entry.
I haven't completely undestood the domain conversions, however, if I'm 
not misunderstood, defaultdomain has only one function: to be replaced 
by the servername - meaning that in your example if you try to login as 
user1 at jura, you'd end up with the same result as user1 at mail.ugent.be 
(supposing that that's your servername).

Hope that helps,
