I think that your scrip would help, and some other tips too :-)) I've never used Cyrus, but read that it use an own DB, so I do not know what I need to do to get a cyrus mailbox. Do I need to create them, or are they automaticaly build if there exist an corresponding unix account ?
I tryed to convert the Courier SPEC to conform to OPenPKG but I still need to learn more about packaging to get it right. Now in the "hurry" I can't presume I'll do it right ;-( Thanks, Alex Cópia Michael Schloh von Bennewitz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > On Wed, Jan 21, 2004, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > I don't know how efeciently search for avaible packages.
