Hey all, I just wanted to celebrate the success of getting my cyrus 2.0.7 installation configured using SSL and sasldb. My next project is to get Postfix (which I've never used before) to deliver the incoming mail. Here are my post-install notes to hopefully help others trying to get 2.0.7

Try recompiling SASL using gdbm instead of berkeley. Then regenerate your sasldb using the new format. You'll also need to make sure that /etc/sasldb is read/write for the cyrus user. The easiest way is just to chown the file to cyrus. (Note: Other posts say cyrus only needs to be able to read
