That's not really an issue, as Cyrus has a POP3 server too.

Yes, which is more of a problem. See, I'm using qmail and handling
virtual domains with it - what I want to be able to do is pick various
aliases of some virtual domains to go to the IMAP server, while the rest
remain as standard forwards. I /think/ from reading the documentation I
can just use "|/path/to/cyrus/deliver" in the alias files that should
use IMAP, but I'm not totally sure. Anyone using it with qmail?
Also, are there debs out there? I had a search through the packages
list, but couldn't find any.
