No (or at least I don't think so, I didn't do the original install), and I
haven't quite worked out how it fits into the overall scheme. Users are
currently logging in with accounts from many different domains. We use
qmail/vpopmail for virtual email domains.

I would have thought that would be a reason not to change domains following a
'redirect' within SM. The issue with cross-domain cookies would support the idea
of not enforcing one domain name. If user logs into domain.com.au and then gets
redirected to domain.com, would that mean they have to log in again?

Great. And I'm happy to discuss implications of various options or to help
implement them.

The ever-present 'more important issues'. I think we all understand that
dilemma.

Thanks again for your efforts with this.
