Well it keeps to my two most basic rules with config:

1) Keep it simple
2) If it ain't broke, don't fix it

Well as I said in the original post, I'm really a tourist on this list...
my cyrus install only has to deal with 5-10 accounts. I personally have
never had any problems with deliver but you and others come out quite
heavily against it. So as a matter of intrest what would you recomend to
replace my current script setup? I say script setup because I don't want
to run multiple instances of postfix on that machine.... so in essance I
can't really use the content filters. I also want to have per user
configs. I had a bit of a look around and found things like spampd
(http://www.wdg.us/Content/rd/mta/spampd/spampd.html) but they don't
appear to do per user settings (Kendrick Vargas mentioned hacking it but
that's a seperate issue). Is there anything around you know of that's a
drop in replacement?
