Thats not entirely true, assuming you have multiple ip addresses to use. You do need to use 1 IP address per domain but you only need to run one master process. Using the -C (altconfig) option and having each imapd/pop3/whatever process only bind to that 1 ip address, you can then specify different authentication sources for different domains. As a result, you end up with multiple separate authentication realms and the desired result of having identicial userids for different domains. No need to modify userids or anything else. No modifications necessary to the source either. Now if you don't have IP addresses to burn, this could be a problem... And you can't do virtual-hosting ala HTTP 1.1 but thats more a limitation of the IMAP4v1 spec than of Cyrus. Kevin -- Kevin M.
