Um.. well, none of those statements are true. Clearly that configuration worked for you, but we use Cyrus with local-host-names, local aliases and a very extensive virtusertable. Having to guess all of this made the install very frustrating, not to mention the stupid questions I did post to the mail list could have been avoided. It sounds like all of these questions were really Sendmail configuration questions. (I'm guessing) The problem wasn't Cyrus IMAPd at all, but that you had issues configuring the MTA to route mail properly. That really isn't something that Cyrus documentation should attempt to solve. That said, as Ken indicated, updates to documentation are always accepted. I know for certain, because most of my updates were (in spirit if not word by word). -- Joe Rhett Chief Geek [EMAIL PROTECTED] Isite Services, Inc. --- Home Page: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyruswiki.andrew.cmu.edu List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
