I knew someone would mention that book ;-)   ... but it really doesn't
count.  It was pretty much out of date by the time it came out and,
while it did cover Cyrus, it was pretty broad in scope.

While it was a good book, I really want one that is nothing but Cyrus
version 2 written for admins (ie with no "What is IMAP?" chapter). Cyrus
is probably one of the few really great and useful programs with a large
user-base that has no real O'Reilly book to indoctrinate the unwashed
masses still using those other IMAP servers.
