Thanks Jesse and Ian. I'll check out the alternatives you mentioned. I'm also going to be doing a search for "cyrus crash" and see what it leads me to. I would think that Cyrus and Postfix have been around for a while, and are relatively stable, so I shouldn't be having these sort of problems (on an established distro). But, I'm also sure these are likely issues someone has had to deal with before.
Does anyone have any URLs to a mailing list for Cyrus? I know there's one for postfix at postfix.org. Thanks muchly.

A segmentation fault is pretty much a generic crash. You should do a search for a crash in your situation, otherwise there are many other programs that crash :-). You also have the option of running it through a debugger to get some more insight. > Also, could someone who has setup the postfix/cyrus IMAP combination send me > a point form list of the steps necessary?

There are a number of commercial e-mail servers available including an offering from SuSE (http://www.suse.com/us/business/products/suse_business/openexchange/index.h tml) and one from SCO (http://www.sco.com/products/SCOoffice/mail/). There are of course a number of free e-mail servers out there. You might want to try installing one that is a little more common, as there may be more people on this list that could help you out. Maybe try Sendmail/imapd. You might also want to look into a GUI front end for doing some of your configuration. I would check out Webmin as they have front ends for many different servers (http://www.webmin.com/). Good luck, Jesse -- Jesse Kline, RHCT http://www3.telus.net/public/klinej/resume.html
