Postfix-Cyrus-Web-cyradm-HOWTO

Honestly, the database used is irrelevant.  The procedure can be applied
to either one.  The koros how-to is just cleaner.  He also updates his
how-to very regularly.  The other how-to has to compete with code
generation of the web-cyradm tool so I understand the less frequent
updates.

Good luck,
MJB
