Well, performance is not a problem for me. As I already mentioned I'm just hosting a dozen of domains with only a couple of (low-use) mailboxes altogether. >> I read that Cyrus doesn't use mailbox files. This is a "con," IMHO, because >> that way I can't easily browse mail using "mutt" (or can I?!) > >Well you can use POP3/IMAP to connect to your mailbox :-) And anyways I Sure, but I like the option of quickly having a glance at them using "Mutt," in case something goes wrong etc. This way I can ssh in and remove offending mails, instead having to telnet to 110 and DELE it. >don't know how Exim handles that but with Postfix you have transport >maps like you could say, > > mail.server.tld local: > >To avoid the usage of Cyrus for mail.server.tld :-) What exactly does the above do? I'm sorry but I don't quite get your point. >> There doesn't seem to be a Debian package available?! > >I think there is but not at packages.debian.org.

I've once started to do that and I have very soon regretted that I did so, so I don't want to repeat that mistake again. >How do you do your system monitoring BTW? "mon" and "logcheck" is what I use to monitor my stuff. It pretty much does what I want. Ralf -- L I N U X .~. The Choice /V\ of a GNU /( )\ Generation ^^-^^
