This is an impressive set of slides you put together.  I believe should
should rework the section about "get the packaged version because
configuring from source is very confusing and has subtle semantics that
aren't immediately apparent.  (paraphrasing this portion of your slide
presentation)

This is precisely the reason that a sysadmin considering Cyrus as part of a
mail distribution system should build from source.  The economics of
implementing a Cyrus based mail server system are very powerful when
considered against commercial systems such as Microsoft, Notes, and others.

However, the learning curve to implement a cyrus based mail server system
can be steep.  An organization must have people with the skills, training
and experience to understand all of the nuances that you gloss over in this
section of your presentation.

I would suggest that you change this portion of your talk to explain up
front to your audiences " For a company willing to expend the people
resources to implement Cyrus it is part of a powerful mail system and
provides a powerful economic return to the organization over commercial mail
systems such as Exchange or Notes.  There are many nuances that must be
understood........"
