Apparently this is standard and can be disabled with virtdomain: userid.

Okay, so "servername" really is just the server name.

Can we get a new parameter which is always used as the default domain 
for SASL authentication if no other is provided?  Obviously the 
virtdomain ip-lookup mode provides a domain to sasl, so it wouldn't 
affect this...
