http://uli.dynodns.net/howto2/Cyrus-IMAP-Postfix.html this is a modified version of the "original" imapd howto which I didn't make public because the author of the original howto didn't give the ok. in fact he/she didn't answer at all. use it at your own risk :) uli ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jonathan Marsden" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Clifford Thurber" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, March 28, 2002 5:58 PM Subject: Cyrus 2.x HOWTO for Linux? > On 28 Mar 2002, Clifford Thurber writes: > > > Wow great thanks.
