I've played in the last few days with Cyrus and Postfix, and things seem working,
the only drawback is the Cyrus packages in potato are pretty old (for that matter,
the package in sid is the same), looking around with google you will find some
unofficial packages for Cyrus 1.5.24 (considered the stable version from CMU) but
right now i can't find the link...
