Yeh, I fought cyrus for a while - gave up and ran dovecot/postfix
without any problems. Speaking of which...that leads me to another
thought (SASL, TLS, etc train of thought)

Anyone tried this place http://www.cacert.org/ for root certs? I haven't
read much about them but probably going to get some for some of my lower
traffic mail and sftp servers.

I downloaded that free Vmware server deal - haven't messed with it or
look at the limitations. Thought it would be nice to have a couple diff
images I could easily screw up and try again.

I have been a really big fan of centos. I didn't use it for my email
server because you would have to configure cyrus and that seemed too
troublesome at the time. I did do a project for a local church that
keeps alittle sql database of the sermons and some simple php to allow
the people to page through the archives. It runs on a old 1.8 P4 with
centos 4, and I haven't had any trouble. Centos is nice with the longer

release cycle, but the fedora legacy project helps you to extend the
life of fedora / redhat 9 or 7.3.
