Yes, it does exactly the latter one. Don't you use "cyradm"? It is just a perl script utilising Cyrus::IMAP::Admin which comes with all cyrus distri- butions. "cyradm" itself does *NOT* directly write or read files within the cyrus structure but itself logs into the IMAP server with the admin account. So using "cyradm" or writing your own perl script is nearly the same... - Birger
