So I would think that setting the 'domain' in the virtual_domains
array would do the job.  If the actual usernames are in the form
"username" (and not "use...@do...d"), SM should be just
appending the default domain to outgoing messages.  If that is what
your situation is (depends what's in your virtual map I suppose), but
it isn't working, that could be because you need to use the multilogin
part of things.  BTW, I see no reason why the compatibility plugin
would break SELinux policies...?  Also, please turn off
$useSessionBased if you have not applied the multilogin patch and
don't have that plugin in place too.
