now: the Cyrus IMAP server added support for sending notification via
zephyr a long long time ago, so if your site uses zephyr, you can
request to get a little window pop up on your screen every time you
get mail. /usr/lib/cyrus/bin/notifyd appears to do this task, so
Cyrus depends on Zephyr depends on Hesiod.
Does Cyrus really have to *depend* on Zephyr, though? It's certainly an
optional dependency upstream; I use Cyrus on FreeBSD at work and don't
have Zephyr or Hesiod installed. Perhaps a softer dependency like
Suggests or Recommends would be more appropriate. I'm sure a large
percentage of Cyrus using sites don't run Zephyr and would prefer not to
install it.
