  that's extremely sad.

  would this work for 1.6 (as I understand it there's quite a difference
between 1.5 and 1.6)? I haven't found it anywhere, I guess I'll go over
to cyrus web site for some more digging... do you know what's the line
for cyrus deliver -l in /etc/inetd.conf?

  ok, so currently I use method cyrus with the following line:

cyrus	  unix	-	n	n	-	-	pipe
  flags=R user=cyrus argv=/usr/sbin/cyrdeliver -e -m ${extension}
${user}

  but there's also following line there:

lmtp	  unix	-	-	n	-	-	lmtp

  so as far as the postfix goes I should just change the:

/etc/postfix/main.cf:mailbox_transport = cyrus

  to mailbox_transport = lmtp and that's it (as far as postfix goes)?

  do you know the name of it? I can't find anything like that in
installed packages or cyrus source tree.

  thanks a lot and thanks some more in advance:-)
