It's more that 1) Cyrus doesn't integrate closely with unix/linux user accounts which may or may not be a good thing. If you are an ISP providing email only you may want that. If you are an office providing file/ftp/print, etc. services for all the same users you may double your setup work per user. 2) Cyrus is unlike anything else, so if you replace an existing system you will have to re-learn administration and you'll probably break things that users have taken for granted for years. If you are starting from scratch, Cyrus is probably the most capable system. I think it is the only one that understands shared folders correctly (i.e. a group of users with their own logins can be given permission to access the same folders besides their own inbox). If you are already running a pop server or wu-imap, dovecot is an easier switch. -- Les Mikesell les@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
