Thanks. Appreciate it.

I seem to have cyrus-imapd and cyrus-sasl playing nice together with
web-cyradm. I guess one of the worst thing about this config is
understanding what is happening! There are too many users and too many
passwords and virtual accounts (username/loginame/email-addresses) are
counterintuitive.

eg: using web-cyradm's domain_as_prefix=0 (this is where all users from
1 specific domain is :

Domain = domain1.com
Domain_prefix = dom1
EmailAddress = [EMAIL PROTECTED]
username = dom1001

turns out this is created as 
/var/spool/imap/user/dom10001

Users will have to login as dom1001.  Sort of like *nix usenames, but
wierder for end-users.. Not Good.

Then I tried DOMAIN_AS_PREFIX=1 and unix hierarchysep:yes

Mail Spool becomes:
/var/spool/imap/user/u/user1^domain1^com

Username = user1.domain1.com
email address = [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Now, this is a bit better. But I'm worried about directory structure. It
really wouldn't be _that_ hard to admin as long as I use the web-cyradm
interface (so I don't get confused between who's who). However, this
would mean the mail spool directory will be all mixed up. 

Isn't there a way to do something like

/var/spool/imap/domain/domain1.com/user1 ??

I've yet to try out virtdomain:userid in cyrus. I wonder if that will
make a difference.

[... testing ...]
Nope. Doesn't make a difference.

So.. any ideas?

Right now, I have my hands full trying to get it work. :-)
