another questions is:
does the mysql database have to be on both machines or does the frontend
cyrus get its data from the backend and doesnt store anything inside its
local DB?
I created a new domain and user on the backend with web-cyradm and on the
frontend/mupdate i can get the data with lm, but I cant connect with a mail
client.
