I'm using Cyrus and I love it. I don't have a large installation, but it "feels" very fast. That is, I can open folders with tens of thousands of emails as fast as my client can run. Advantages: there is no direct correspondence between system accounts and email accounts. It's perfectly normal (and expected) to have email users without any login access. Cyrus supports shared folders so that you could, for example, have a single "site announcement" folder so that you can email all of your customers just by putting a message in it. Neat stuff. Disadvantages: well, you have to learn how to use it. The (very short) initial learning curve is quite steep if you don't already know SASL (the authentication system that Cyrus, and increasingly other apps) use. Once you have a magic "Aha!" moment, though, it's very easy to administer. > we'll probably also be looking to deliver a webmail interface > (squirrelmail? courier? sqwebmail?) as well. Squirrelmail rocks. I've rolled it out to several client sites with much acclaim. It has plugins for everything you could possible want. -- Kirk Strauser In Googlis non est, ergo non est.
