Under some circumstances you will see other Namespaces, than a normal User, for example. It's not only a question of "too much" Access-Rights. > I suppose that I must provide a password for the cyrus admin user, but I'm > unable to do it (the user created in the sasldb database is > cyrus@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx instead of only 'cyrus') Every Account in sasldb has two parts. The Username and the Realm (username@realm). If you create an Account with user@xxxxxxxxxx, "domain.tld" is used as realm. If you omit the @domain, either the String behind "-u" or the Hostname of the Server is used as Realm. For virtdomain's, create an Account without @domain-Part. Either use a automatically generated Realm (Hostname) or specify one with "-u". # saslpasswd2 -c -u whatever.tld cyrus # sasldblistusers2 ... cyrus@xxxxxxxxxxxx: userPassword ... Add this Realm with "defaultdomain: whatever.tld" to imapd.conf. Then if you use only "cyrus" as Username and if virtdomains is enabled, the "defaultdomain" is used as Realm. -- Andreas
