NOW I remember! I've patched this code on the old server like this:

 if(sparams->user_realm) {
        user_realm = sparams->user_realm;
 } else {
         user_realm = 'my_default_domain_in_imapdconf.com';
 }

It does pass the realm if I set it to anything except default one which is configured under imapd.conf. 'anything.domain.com' or even 'completelydifferentdomain.com' works as expected.

Also IMO it makes no sense to default to serverFQDN. Especially when Cyrus IMAPD documentation says that %r in Cyrus defaults to fqdn minus hostname part. Very confusing and time consuming.

I really don't want to set servername to domain name. This is not "a correct way team".

Do you have a suggestion how to get domain information from %u in imapd.conf?
