I'm in the process of changing my web / mail server over to FC3. In the past I've been using a good old solid distro of Mandrake 8.2, but decided to give FC3 a try. I was instantly rewarded by finding that FC3 is much faster and more responsive on the 500Mhz machine its now installed on. Everything was a breeze to setup.. that is of course until I got to the Sendmail/Cyrus Imap setup. GOOD GOD!!! I'm ready to pull my hair out!
Were you using Cyrus on Mandrake?
How many users do you have? Given that it's a web server *and* a mail server, and stil 500 MHz (I know, you shouldn't need that much CPU power for either job...), Cyrus may not be the right option for you.
You may find Dovecot a much easier ride for small servers, and more what you're used to. Cyrus is ... different.

Hi James,
There are 10 users assigned to this server and no, I wasn't using cyrus on the mandrake server. That server is running a much simpler setup with Postfix and imap. definitely no where near as much trouble to setup and get going. Its been a while since I've even looked at Sendmail and much has changed.
Is Dovecot in the repositories?
