If Craig is going to be hacking a new mailbox format backend onto whatever server, I'm almost certain he'll be happier with UW, since UW abstracts the format of the mailboxes away from the protocol layer significantly better than Cyrus does (since Cyrus was designed to run with its own backend, and no others). Then again, if Craig is willing to flat-out convert to a new format, then Cyrus is probably a closer match to what he currently has. -Rob -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Rob Siemborski | Andrew Systems Group * Research Systems Programmer PGP:0x5CE32FCC | Cyert Hall 207 * [EMAIL PROTECTED] * 412.268.7456 -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK---- Version: 3.12 GCS/IT/CM/PA d- s+: a-- C++++$ ULS++++$ P+++$ L+++(++++) E W+ N o?
