greetings,
I have seen some similar questions on the net but without any satisfying 
solution.

whenever cyrus passes the credentials to sasl, it is in lowercase (no matter 
what this options are set to: lmtp_downcase_rcpt, username_tolower, 
normalizeuid). the huge problem appears in case of using virtual domains and 
kerberos authentication - the domain part of the email address is used as 
kerberos realm, which is strictly case sensitive (usually uppercase). since 
sasl always receives the realm lowercased, the authentication never passes.

e.g.:
username (email): t...@domain.tld
krb principal: t...@domain.tld

imaptest:~ # imtest -a t...@domain.tld -m login -p imap localhost -v

saslauthd[19448] :do_auth         : auth failure: [user=test] [service=imap] 
[realm=domain.tld] [mech=kerberos5] [reason=saslauthd internal error]


how can this be solved?

btw. there is imho one more problem and it is how the realm is concluded (as 
the email domain part). some more generic option of mapping email to realms 
would be nice. is it possible?

thanks for any clue, steve.
