Okay, defaultdomain is set to mail.blah.com again, as it should be. Logging in as admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx now doesn't work, reports the user name as 'admin', correctly, but doesn't work. Logging in as admin doesn't work, reports the user name as user@xxxxxxxx and the password for that user is (now) different. With the defaultdomain set to something else, like something.fake, logging in as admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx works but then of course is not a global admin. Changing defaultdomain to blah.com, which kinda makes sense but shouldn't be forced...using admin tries login as admin and doesn't work (doesn't append blah.com?). Logging in as admin@xxxxxxxx also tries login as admin and doesn't work. e.g. by "tries login as..." I mean "admin" in: Jul 1 11:02:38 mail imaps[19476]: badlogin: mail.blah.com [x.x.x.x] plaintext admin SASL(-13): authentication failure: checkpass failed This was from logging in with c login "admin@xxxxxxxx" "password" Still working on it...
