Ok I did everything you suggested but there are some PROBLEMS !

To follow what both of you suggested and to follow the instructions, I
only need to add this line :
defaultdomain: <MY MAIN DOMAIN>

But when I do it, many problems appear :

1. First problem I cannot login anymore to cyradm !
=> In the LDAP logs I see that even if I log with "cyrus@<MY MAIN
DOMAIN>", in fact cyrus REMOVES the default domain from the login !

2. I solved this by creating a second cyrus admin in LDAP, instead of
"cyrus@<MY MAIN DOMAIN>" this one is simply "cyrus".
This made possible to access cyradm again, AND surprise :
lm <MY OTHER DPMAIN>!user.dbucherml.*
It works ! :-)

3. BUT THE BIGGEST PROBLEM is :

Now the system is completely screw up, no user can login, no mail can
come in anymore (IMAP/webmail)

4. The explanation of the problem is simple, but I don't see the solution :

In LDAP logs it is clear that cyrus removes the main/default domain when
"defaultdomain: <MY MAIN DOMAIN>" is present in the config. This is not
possible, we need the domain !

5. WOAW !!! I think I was able to do what I want but it's 100% kludgy !

How to do it :

a) Define a FAKE domain as default domain ! I used "aaa.ch"
b) Create your mail admin as "cyrus" (without domain !)
c) Login into cyradm with cyrus at aaa.ch (NOT with cyrus !)

And it works... Not really elegant but it seems to be the only solution
(???)

What do you think ?
