I just realised your "example.com" was substituting for your Cyrus server's host name, not your email domain. Presumably you don't want to use your Cyrus server's host name as the email domain! You should set Cyrus up as I described using the email domain you wish to use; and recreate the sasl db entry also with that domain, instead of the automatic host name that's in there now. ------------------------------------------ Cyrus: Devel Permalink: https://cyrus.topicbox.com/groups/devel/T2696a2b6212ee1a0-M1cccf8f5d2c48880b3e349a8 Delivery options: https://cyrus.topicbox.com/groups/devel/subscription
