This is not exactly true.  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?
