Cyrus Imap final setup problems

[Nybbles2Byte]

Hello Dan,

I just wanted to clarify one thing so no one gets the wrong idea. When I 
rebuilt the data there was still one problem and that was the "badlogin" I 
was getting. I tracked it down just now to fetchmail polling Cyrus. This 
must have been a leftover from the guy before because I have never 
touched fetchmail and don't know anything about it except what I read
in the last 30mins. 

From what I can see it is meant to strengthen the communication between 
two other parts of a mail system. However, my Postfix and Cyrus are on 
the same computer so as I see it Fetchmail could do little more than be an 
overhead. Would you happen to know if that is a fair assessment because
I really am very new to all this and I noticed that Fetchmail is not 
mentioned in either the Postfix or the Cyrus documentation or books I 
have gathered.

Thanks,
-Reg
