Actually, if you're using courierauthlib you got:

DEFAULT_DOMAIN in authmysqlrc and authpgsqlrc
LDAP_DOMAIN in authldaprc

I used to patch the userdb auth module to append my default domain if
there wasn't a @ in the username, but that was long before authlib.
No need to patch anymore, I now use mysql ;)

Later.-
