Yeah.. Saw that. many Thanks again > > how to do the > domain catchall address, fex if an email comes in for unknown user > [EMAIL PROTECTED] drop it in a specific folder or mailbox.

I will eventually use postfix and it seems that web-cyradm can do a catchall address. You just create an email id and that mark that email ID as a catchall address.

I read that overall, parsing the queries to mysql can really bog down the server anyway.

So if you do get it working, please share your results with us here. I agree. One thing's for certain, we really need more documentation on this setup. (cyrus-imap that is) Oh.. by the way, I found out how to create the [EMAIL PROTECTED] Both the directory structure and the login id. eg: Domain = Domain1 Email = [EMAIL PROTECTED] Username = [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mail Spool = /var/spool/imap/domain/domain1.com/user/user1 Seems like it was a 'limitation' of cyradm. When I saw how you added the user directly via cyradm's cli, I gave it a try and saw that the directories are created properly and all that jazz. Also, seems like there _is_ a patch for this. But not sure why it wasn't accepted upstream. The patch is dated April 2004. Simple 1 line patch.
