Hi Patrick,

I'm a ridiculously happy user of Cyrus on OBSD 2.7 (I'll upgrade to 2.8
this weekend). However, I did NOT feel I needed the added complexity of
the SASL library and do not use sieve. I've found version 1.5.19 to be
very stable, albeit incompatible with Outlook 2000 but compatible with
OE, Eudora, Netscape, Pegasus, and Mulberry. I installed the package
from their web site, and followed the Linux how to (don't forget the
pwcheck daemon). The only thing I had to was create the deliverdb
entries under /var.

This may not be the ideal solution for you. For my needs, supporting a
moderate volume of mail from a handful of trusted users, using
TCPwrappers/IPF for access control and IPSEC or ssh for privacy, and
have no need of quota support this works for me. I'm quite appreciative
of it's (relative) security and speed. Let me know if you would like
specifics of the install; it may be an option to get this up and running
and move onto a newer version at a later time. However, read the change
log and make an informed decision about the impacts of the bug fixes
since 1.5.19 before installing 1.5.19

I should note that we are considering lifting the IP restrictions so
I'll upgrade to 1.6.2x for the TLS support and to fix suid issues.


HTH,

P.S. I do not monitor the info-Cyrus list (although I'm a member) but
rather use it as a reference in time of trouble :> Please cc me if
responding to this not. I'll try to peek in there now that I'm sending
to that list but can't promise a swift response with out a cc :<
