There is a cyrus (and postfix) backport from sid to woody: deb http://people.debian.org/~hmh/woody/ hmh/cyrus/ deb http://people.debian.org/~hmh/woody/ hmh/postfix/ deb http://people.debian.org/~hmh/woody/ hmh/misc/ (mailman, squirrelmail and amavis-new are also available there) You might want to take a loot at that... I've been using them for some time now, without any problems. Regards, Teun Vink Luna.nl NOC -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
