Andy/Wesley, First off, thanks for all of the help. I've gotten pretty far I think. I ran into a couple problems and some notes on some list groups about dead options that were shown in examples. http://garysmith.pbwiki.com/Cyrus I have put all of my configs into a wiki (broken down by server/type). The problem that I'm running into right now is that if I log into the frontend box using cyradmin (as root or cyrus) I can see mailboxes but when I go to create one on a backend server, cyradm prompts me for the password for the corresponding account on the remote machine. I'm not sure if this is by design or an issue. The other big issue is that I have lmtp configured on the frontend to forward to the backend. The lmtp process is running on the backend as I can telnet to it (telnet ip lmtp). On the backend I seem to be getting a SASL2 auth error. badlogin: 10.80.72.1 PLAIN SASL(-13): authentication failure: Password verification failed I believe this is the final problem. Now there is another crazy setting in the mix (but it shoudln't be an impact). We use pam/nss mysql. This has been working for some time and is working well on stand alone servers. I have configured it on the frontend server as well. I can login to the frontend just fine (which is a mysql account). That's my outstanding issues at this time that (as I can't get past those). The last thing that I'm looking into is autocreatequota setting. We used this on the standalone boxes and it worked well for us. When we attempt to create an account on the frontend it fails as we don't have it enabled on the frontend. When we enable it on the frontend the account is created on the frontent and attempts to delete or move (rename) fail. Is there any hope for autocreate?

That should probably be: lmtp cmd="lmtpd" listen="lmtp" prefork=1 maxchild=100 You want one of them to listen on the lmtp network socket, rather than both listening on the lmtp unix socket. Andy
