I have cyrus server running for personal use, and I am by no means an admin. One of the bigger differences between running Cyrus and other servers is that Cyrus authentication doesn't require a user to have a shell account on the server. My biggest hurdle was understanding how to configure the authentication to the server. Other than that, installation was a breeze. I use squirrelmail for webmail, and a plugin is available that lets users change their passwords, which is really handy. > In most cases Courier is enough and scales well (I know someone running > ~8000 Users with Courier).

This is true, but not necessarily evil. I moved my email folders from one machine to another, and the instructions were simple. Then again, there is only one user on my setup. -Andy -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
