It would probably help if I spelled "virtdomains" correctly in the imapd.conf 
file...  I had been using "virtualdomains" instead and not surprisingly that 
was doing nothing.  But I AM surprised that no error message is produced when 
an unrecognized option is specified (that would have saved me a lot of 
trouble).   I guess I can see the logic behind that if options that are 
applicable to a particular module are specified but the module is not loaded - 
you wouldn't want errors being produced simply because an optional module was 
not loaded.

Anyway, my current configuration requires the following settings to work 
properly:

virtdomains: userid
defaultdomain: imap.sample.domain.com
loginrealms: imap.sample.domain.com
This is fine, but in the real world our email addresses are of the form 
"[email protected]" and our MX mail exchange systems (which serve the 
"sample.domain.com" domain) redirect emails to the actual IMAP server which is 
named "imap.sample.domain.com".   It would be nice if our users could use 
either domain as their login ID, and *loginrealms* allows this:
loginrealms: imap.sample.domain.com sample.domain.com
However, *virtdomains* only works if *defaultdomain* is specified, and 
*defaultdomain* only allows one value.  This seems incorrect.   I would expect 
*defaultdomain* to only be used when a local-part (e.g. "person") login is 
specified, then the concatenation of "person@<defaultdomain>" would be used as 
the login name (and compared against *loginrealms* as it is when a user 
specifies a full email address).  Why allow logins against any domain listed in 
*loginrealms* to succeed if the code turns around and rejects any that aren't 
the *defaultdomain*?
