Why do you feel that your posts have to be answered? If I remember correctly, your questions were sendmail related. Have you tried any of sendmail forums and their documentation? > I did mention the Documents could use a bit more polish, and Ken has asked > me to update the documents with the issues I had and how I overcame them.

In my opinion David's post was inapropritate regardless of how much information is/was available to him. > I for one would love to be able to use a SQL like MySQL to backend this > software.

I am not sure if you are talking about authentication or adding a new cyrus-imap backend. In either case the information is available: for auth look in $cyrus-sasl-src/doc/options.html. Check $cyrus-imap/lib/cyrusdb_berekeley.c as an example of a cyrus-imap backend. There was a discussion on this list about this awhile back, check the archives. -- Igor
