dovecot - Mar 2006 - Setting a Default Domain

I'm working on migrating to Dovecot. At the moment, I have a mail path
that includes the domain, so I'm using %d to get that. However, if users
authenticate without specifying a domain (i.e. using "bob" instead of
"bob at wiktel.com"), then %d expands to nothing. I'd like to have
that
expand to a default domain (wiktel.com) instead. Is that possible?

Thanks,
Richard

You could use the perdition proxy to achieve this:

The best solution to this (afaik) is to let the SQL server to the 
dirty work for you, e.g.:
SELECT [...] CASE WHEN ('%d' = '') THEN 'default.com'
ELSE '%d' END AS
domain [...]

Depending on your database schema, you may be able to get away without 
the CASE statement usage with something like this:
SELECT ... WHERE (('%d' != '' AND domain='%d') OR
('%d' = '' AND
domain='default.com') ...

It's not the greatest of solutions, but it works well enough.

auth_default_realm = wiktel.com

That seems to be working. Thanks. I'm sorry for bothering everyone. I
don't know how I could've missed that in the example config file.
