Question for patch

[Nuno Silva]

Hi!

AFAIK you can't do that with cyrus. Cyrus was developed as a sealed 
service which do not depend on system accounts. That's his strenght in 
some areas and his weakness in others :)

That said, maybe it's easier to patch cyrus to log traffic information 
for each mailbox that doing it at OS level.

Regards,
Nuno Silva
