Yes, set up another box with a new version of cyrus and spend some time learning the different inns and out of a cyrusserver. Then make a script to copy over the mail via the imap-protocol. There are a few scripts on the net the you may use. How do you plan to do authentication? Expect sasl to be the part you might have the greatest time configuring. Tarjei > > Cristian T.
