I started out with Exim/Cyrus and ended up going with Postfix/Cyrus 
because of the extensive Postfix documentation available.  I similarly 
spent way too much time looking for relevant howtos and documentation, 
which seems to be either out of date or non-existent.  Is everyone just 
using gmail these days? That would be a blow to Internet freedom. The 
Cyrus documentation is particularly weak.  Cyrus could be the dominant 
imap platform if it came with some excellent documentation.

Ubuntu has a Postfix/dovecot metapackage that works pretty well.  I 
toyed with the idea of doing something similar for Postfix/Cyrus, but am 
now in the process of switching all my desktops/servers from Ubuntu to 
Arch, so this wouldn't necessarily apply for Debian users anymore anyway.
