If you switch to Cyrus from something =20 else, you will have to make sure that your mail is delivered to =20 Cyrus instead if however it was being done before (local mbox or =20 maildir for example). I have not run Cyrus in many years but they =20 had their own delivery agent that your local mail agent (mda/mta like =20= sendmail, exim, etc) would hand off to. Has this changed or does it =20 still work that way? Chad --- Chad Leigh -- Shire.Net LLC Your Web App and Email hosting provider chad at shire.net
