This is an impressive set of slides you put together. I believe should should rework the section about "get the packaged version because configuring from source is very confusing and has subtle semantics that aren't immediately apparent. (paraphrasing this portion of your slide presentation)
This is precisely the reason that a sysadmin considering Cyrus as part of a mail distribution system should build from source. The economics of implementing a Cyrus based mail server system are very powerful when considered against commercial systems such as Microsoft, Notes, and others. However, the learning curve to implement a cyrus based mail server system can be steep. An organization must have people with the skills, training and experience to understand all of the nuances that you gloss over in this section of your presentation. I would suggest that you change this portion of your talk to explain up front to your audiences " For a company willing to expend the people resources to implement Cyrus it is part of a powerful mail system and provides a powerful economic return to the organization over commercial mail systems such as Exchange or Notes. There are many nuances that must be understood........" Cheers: -arc Arley Carter Tradewinds Technologies, Inc. Charlotte, NC USA [EMAIL PROTECTED]
