ok, I meant imtest -a username localhost >>>login with [EMAIL PROTECTED] this is the part I was talking about. If you have virtdomains: yes, imapd adds a realm to all usernames without realm, so on my server the real username used with sasl is [EMAIL PROTECTED], which I have in my user database, so I can log in. > > > ok. mine is: > > imtest -t "" -p imap -m plain -a my.admin -u [EMAIL PROTECTED] 127.0.0.1 > login: localhost [127.0.0.1] testuser PLAIN+TLS I think your imapd will try to use a username like this: [EMAIL PROTECTED] to log in. hmm, have you set defaultdomain? > >>>imtest servername.domain.com: ok, I meant imtest -a username servername.domain.com >>>login with [EMAIL PROTECTED] Here the strange thing is that the servername part is cut off, so I cannot login like this. Same like you. What I don't understand is how imapd constructs the the realm. I asked on this list four days ago (cyrus sasl realm problem), but I still don't understand it really :( that's what I received from Brad Crotchett: > I think this would be the expected behavior.

On my system I can login from localhost on the localhost interface, and from external on the external interface. I can live with that, although I would like to understand what's happening.
