Another issue that's come up is that of the actual virtual domain
design.  In reality, we have 1 domain, but several sub domains within
that domain that make up the different IMAP e-mail servers.  The Cyrus
documentation suggests that you can have:

mail.example.net
mail.example.com

...but does not seem to imply you could have:

dep1.example.com
dep2.example.com

...as two separate domains and have authentication and mail delivery
work properly with this configuration.  Am I misunderstanding the design
of the virtual domain support in 2.2.X?  Will Cyrus virtual domains work
with what I need to do?

Are you going to continue to use virtual IP addresses? Cyrus strips the first part of the FQDN as the local name and leaves the rest as the domain. So if you use names like:


mail.dep1.example.com
mail.dep2.example.com

this will give you domains:

dep1.example.com
dep2.example.com


If this doesn't work for you and have a better way of determining the domain from the IP address, I'm all ears. The most complaints that we've had about the virt domains code, is the domain-from-IP half.
