Hi,
I'm looking to install the cyrus imap server on our RedHat 6.1 box.
My server is using sendmail 8.9.3 and I'm not keen on upgrading this if I
can avoid it.
I don't need too many fancy features like kerberos and sieve. Basically
just want simple imap and pop3 access. Wanting to use cyrus primarily for
its concurrent access and acl facilities (being a closed server is also a
bonus).
I've a few questions:
1) Should I use version 1.6.24 or 2.0.7? I've read comments indicating
that the former is more prudent for production systems. I have managed to
compile both (following the HOWTO roughly) although I don't think I hand
the sendmail configuration quite right for 2.0.7.
2) Is it possible to have cyrus mail users and "regular" users (that is,
users with an actual login on the machine, and mailbox in /var/spool/mail)
to coexist on the same machine? This would migration much easier as I can
set cyrus up and migrate people over time, setting up the critical
mailboxes first.
3) Is there some way of setting up aliases in sendmail that deliver email
into specific mailboxes (not necessary a user.* mailbox)?
Thanks.
E.
