There is a cyrus (and postfix) backport from sid to woody:
deb http://people.debian.org/~hmh/woody/ hmh/cyrus/
deb http://people.debian.org/~hmh/woody/ hmh/postfix/
deb http://people.debian.org/~hmh/woody/ hmh/misc/
(mailman, squirrelmail and amavis-new are also available there)
You might want to take a loot at that... I've been using them for some time now,
without any problems.
