Thank you this is good to know.   As with other projects, occasionally a 
succinct HOWTO or similar document often is very helpful.

Might it be wise to start pooling this information at the Cyrus Wiki as 
a start?

I'm surprised at the apparent lack of coverage of Cyrus in the sysadmin 
books out there.  The best I could find is the slightly-dated nutshell 
"Managing IMAP" book.


Thanks....
