Doug: you were right on. This was the problem. My hosts file had "John" as the 
user, not john AT domain1 DOT com. I replaced it and everything works fine.
By the way, this seems like a "bug" in the documentation. Nowhere does it 
mention that the "user" entry has to be the user's e-mail, and not just the 
username.
(I think I saw somewhere that using apache utils (I am using lighttpd) you can 
let it infer the user's e-mail from the username - is it true?)

Many thanks
