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?
