Cyrus is a bit unusual but not really difficult. Best way we found to live with is managing with webmin (www.webmin.com). Converting standard UNIX mbox files is easy: split the files using formail and feed the mails to Cyrus' deliver command (the same way, sendmail will deliver mail) The SASL authentication layer must be configured. It's a bit of overhead, if you only have local /etc/passwd. But it's worth, if you have a lot of users (a lot means 50 to 500 000 ;-)) We normally configure systems authenticating against openldap/Win 2000 ADS/ NIS If you set up mailbox quotas, you may monitor mailbox sizes in webmin.
