Cyrus and Postfix question

[Jason Williams]

Hello and Thanks for your reply.

For now, im going to use UNIX domain sockets. I figure, since both postfix 
and cyrus are on the same machine, only seems logical to set it up this way.

For that instance, it would be:

mailbox_transport = cyrus

Then in my master.cf

# Cyrus 2.1.5
cyrus     unix  -       n       n       -       -       pipe
   user=cyrus argv=/usr/local/cyrus/bin/deliver -r ${sender} -m 
${extension} ${user}

So it envokes the cyrus deliver program.
I see how that works.
Just trying to find out more on the two options: advantages and 
disadvantages of both.

Oops. My mistake.

hehe. I got a kick out of that.

I appreciate the help.
