SASL authentication problem with virtdomain

Hi,

I noticed a strange effect when authenticating to Cyrus IMAP with DIGEST-MD5 
in a virtdomain scenario. The mail client tried to log in with 
"marcus at better.se", but this resulted in:

Jun 18 09:06:25 imapper cyrus/imap[1656]: accepted connection
Jun 18 09:06:25 imapper cyrus/imap[1656]: badlogin: [80.169.182.16] DIGEST-MD5 
[SASL(-13):user not found: no secret in database]

My imap.conf had
  defaultdomain: better.se
  loginrealms: better.se

The "defaultdomain" turned out to be the problem. I changed it to something 
else, and suddely it starts working. The user is listed in the sasldb with the 
domain part.

Is this intened behaviour? I am running Debian's cyrus-imapd-2.2 (2.2.13-10).

Cheers,

Marcus
