I'm the 'original' author of the RedHat Cyrus-IMAPd RPMs which Luca kindly 'ported' to Mandrake. And no, it wasn't easy to make it build on several different distributions. The biggest problem I had was always the Perl part of Cyrus, and maybe the way RedHat has changed the Perl part of their distributions in the past. I looked at so many Perl source RPMs from RedHat but was unable to do the same with Cyrus. So, if there is really something broken in the perl part of Cyrus and could be fixed, I'd be happy to see it.
