SASL login as another user - unexpected behavior on cyrus 2.4.17

Hello,

  I run Cyrus-IMAPD 2.4.17 with many virtual domains:

	virtdomains: userid

I configured a domain administrator:

	admins: admin at example.com

With this account I can LIST all accounts in example.com domain only, as 
expected.

Let suppose the Cyrus-IMAPD server stores also accounts for other 
domains, such as example2.com domain.

Well, I see that I can SASL PLAIN login using admin at example.com on 
example2.com accounts too, if I know their names. I can't understand why 
this could happen. It seems a security issue.


Is there a way to prevent this issue without modifying ACL on all accounts?

Thank you
Marco
