I just got Postfix + TLS + SASL + MySQL (for the dbmail_users table)
working on my server last week. Took an hour. I already had the SSL certs,
so TLS was painless. Most of the hour was spent screwing with the
sasl2/smtpd.conf file.

The problem with Cyrus is that CMU appears to reject students who can
write in the English language. Possibly in any language. There's no
documentation for ANYTHING except for some useless abstracts.

I didn't feel any bloat; everything was nicely modular. What I did feel
was a continuity problem in the documentation, and for SASL, lack of any
documentation at all.
