Yes.

9.1, db4.1, openldap-2.1.x (not sure which version is on the server in
question), sasl2 (which I still need to look into, specifically some
patches I received) and postfix. We have put this project back on the
front burner, we hope to take this machine into production as our mail
server within the next week or two.

Those which aren't already in cooker.

- From the section added to imapd.conf(5) by the patch:
"createonpost: no
If yes, when lmtpd receives an incoming mail for an
INBOX that
does not exist, then the INBOX is automatically created by
lmtpd."
Note, I think the concern about this was that it would be the *default*
behaviour, whereas it would not be.
At least, that is if it works ... at present I haven't got it working ...

Hmmm, I wonder if it would be useful to have a 'cyrus-imapd-migration'
package. I will try that.
