Postfix-Cyrus-Web-cyradm-HOWTO

[grenoml]

MJB,
  Thanks for the info.  I'll consider looking at this.  Right now
though I have a lot of things setup on MySQL and would like to continue
using just one database so I would like to keep moving forward in this
direction.  I'm mainly looking for advice from anyone who has
configured SRPMs and has worked through the setup in the
Postfix-Cyrus-Web-cyradm-HOWTO.  I think it is possible to do a little
work and get to a point where all that is needed is to install a
certain set of configured RPMs to obtain the functionality of the
HOWTO.  That is what I'm trying to accomplish.

regards,
gerry reno
