It seems to be working but

localhost.localdomain> cm user.test at 1.org
createmailbox: Permission denied
localhost.localdomain> cm user.test at 1
localhost.localdomain> cm user.test at 1.org

Why I cannot create test at 1.org directly ? Because of cyrus`s directory
structure ? Or when I need mailbox with 'dot' : foo.bar at foobar.com ?
