I have confirmed this as true - any DL added without a domain extension 
will apply to any domain, not just mydestination. Thinking about this, 
it is relaively obvious, my mistake. I have added a small comment about 
this to the wiki, but is there a way to put it in to the web gui? I seem 
to remember that kolab2 was not yet intended for multiple domains (there 
is no way of changing mydestination in the gui, so would it be an idea 
to a checkbox to make it domain specific, or just make it domain 
specific by default?

Cheers,
