Amen! It can be argued that great coders don't have time to write documentation, but that was my saddest surprise when I first was given the task of administering a large cyrus installation back in 1997 was the lack of documentation. I've always considered this list to be "the documentation" as this was just about the only place I knew that would have definitive information. > Most of the documentation I've found concerns the 1.5.x series. Which is why I was reluctant to upgrade to the 2.x series for a very long time after it was out. I've often wondered why O'Reilly has never commissioned a book about Cyrus. With co-lo's getting cheaper and cheaper, I always recommend Cyrus whenever one of my sysadmin friends says they're going to do POP/IMAP, but it's always met with "Where can I read up on it?" -- Brian
