I cannot tell you which is better, but I can tell you they have strengths in different places. I've used courier for years, and I've never had any issues with it. You apt-get install it and forget about it. The only downside I can see is that it gets slower with large mailboxes. Here's where I like Cyrus. I have a number of mail folders with mailing list mails (I don't delete anything). I make subfolders for each year in each inbox to archive the past year's mail in. So I have a lot of mail folders that have between 30,000 and 70,000 mails in them each. This gets very slow in courier, but hardly slows down in Cyrus. Another advantage of Cyrus is that it has a built in cluster architecture, called MURDER (I think). Once this is set up, adding more machines to cope with increased load becomes easier. The downside is that Cyrus is a bit more complex to configure, the official docs is as old as the mountains, and (my worst gripe), it doesn't like it if you fiddle with the underlying file/directory structure of the mailboxes. -- Kind regards Hans du Plooy SagacIT (Pty) Ltd hansdp at sagacit dot com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
