Allowing logins like [email protected] into cyrus

After fidling with some cyrus options, I was able to log in into
cyrus
with [email protected] without the need for perdition (yes, I know we
must think of perdition as a way to separate mail for several mail
servers, still, I'd like the option not to use perdition).

ISPMan already creates a [email protected], so part of the job is
done.
The next part is to instruct saslauthd to pass the realms(add -r to
options), this will make saslauthd pass [email protected] and not
just username or username_domain_tld.

After that, add to /etc/imapd.conf:
virtdomains: on

Now we get into more trouble because cyrus does not have that
mailbox, but, if we create the apropriate mailbox, it will work.

cm [email protected]

Bellow is the patch to correcly create the mailbox from the console:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
diff -Naur ispman.createMailbox.sav ispman.createMailbox
--- ispman.createMailbox.sav    2006-05-31 01:32:26.000000000 +0100
+++ ispman.createMailbox        2006-05-31 02:14:07.000000000 +0100
@@ -27,8 +27,8 @@
       my $str = shift;
       ( $uid, $domain ) = split( '@', $str );
       if ($domain) {
-        $domain =~ s/\./_/g;
-        $str = join '_', ( $uid, $domain );
+        $domain =~ s/\./\\./g;
+        $str = join '\@', ( $uid, $domain );
       }
       return $str;
   }
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Couldn't get the rest going because I dont know where ISPMan set's
the
mailbox to username_domain_tld, which should become
[email protected], else, it will always fail from the web
interface.
If I know this part, maybe I can get to the bottom of the rest.

P.S.: Thanks derjohn, we'll continue patching/debugging this subject
when both of us have had some sleep :)

P.S. 2: Oh, and joerg, please, please, please.... ;)
