Yup, and really strange! Why would it only work on the loop back interface? I am getting increasinly embarrased because it turned out that the problem was local. Aparently, cyrus-imap does a reverse lookup of the ip on the inter- face that recieves the connection. This must resolve to a host under the defaultdomain. So, adding the line '192.168.0.4 top.example.com' to /etc/hosts solved the problem. This may mean that new problems will arise if you have more do- mains/hostnames in your hostsfile. Say eth0 belongs to example.com while eth1 belongs to example1.com, or you specify host.example.com and host.example1.com because boths should map to the same ip. I do not know if you will be able to serve both domains. So, beware what you put in your hosts file. I have no idea why one would implement such a restriction, since there can only be one default domain, the namespace is implicitly given if not part of the login realm. Anyone?
