Re: SASL login as another user - unexpected behavior on cyrus 2.4.17

That's going to be the case on all versions of Cyrus - admins have quite
a lot of "root"-like power, and the @domain limitation is quite
lightweight as you can see!
I would recommend running a completely separate Cyrus instance per
zone of control if this is a concern - while it would be nice to lock
down all the ways in which admins are powerful, realistically it's a
ton of work.
(the usual "pull requests welcome" of course - I wouldn't object to
making boundaries around domain admins solid, but I don't have the dev
cycles to throw at it)
