I have updated to cyrus imapd 2.1.3. The database backends are now configurable at compile. I'm still using db3 as default because db4 has generated error messages and I build on RedHat 7.2 at the moment. db3 is "standard" on 7.2, I guess db4 will be in for 7.3/8.0. I'll test it on skipjack-beta1 when I find some time. -Simon > > The URL for downlading them is > > http://home.teleport.ch/simix/ > > On 28 Mar 2002 at 8:58, Jonathan Marsden wrote about "Cyrus 2.x HOWTO for Linux?
