This looks like a Cyrus problem or a Mac OS X problem to me. The version
of Cyrus I have here (heavily hacked 2.1.16) looks like it won't call
tcpwrappers for Unix domain sockets. If the kernel lies to it and returns
the wrong kind of socket address from getpeername() then Cyrus will do the
wrong thing. I haven't tested Mac OS X to find out if this is the problem.
0.0.0.0 is a synonym for localhost.
