Fellow Cyrus lovers: I'm in a situation where I've got a number of VPN'ed servers where we are very interested in conserving as much bandwidth as possible (in the interest of reserving it for SMB and the like). FWIW, each VPN pipe is approximately 500kbps wide (according to iperf) up/down and we've got over 100 users in all to account for (most of whom store a multitude of email with, of course, attachments).
As such, we're considering deploying a murder of imapd's to run on each of these servers. Naturally, a number of questions have arisen. 1. What is the difference between The Cyrus Murder (as it is called in [1]) and Cyrus IMAP Aggregator [2]? I understand that the plural of imapd is "a murder," as it is with crows, but I'm struggling to get the terminology straight. 2. Which document should I pay the most attention to? 3. At the top of [1] is an emphatic warning stating that deploying Cyrus Murder is both a risky and difficult venture. However, the document is dated 2003/10/19. Regarding the degree of risk involved, is this statement still true? What sort of risks do I take in deploying Cyrus Murder? Is it considered stable? Do I risk loss of data?
