I wouldn't say junk, it does work. Maybe it lacks a
bit in the scalability department. I found it much
more reliable than courier in my testing.
Still, nobody here with the authority to do so has
addressed the question of Cyrus IMAP. Why can't it
become our default IMAP server? It has that SIEVE
server-side filtering stuff that no other IMAP server
has. That would be really sweet for Mandrake. I'd
even have the SquirrelMail package configured to use
it by default.

I worry about switching to Courier :o( but if we
could go Cyrus, I'd say let's go Maildir.
