[TriLUG] Postfix plus Cyrus IMAP

[Joseph Tate]

I looked at that, and decided it wasn't complete enough for my needs 
right now.  I also couldn't get authentication to work properly.  I even 
created a patch to add encryption to the password in the database before 
deciding against using web-cyradm.  It doesn't allow you to change user 
passwords, and the user can't login to change thier own.

P.S.  I got the AUTH to show up in the EHLO response.  Missing 
configuration in the main.cf file.  I certainly wish the documentation 
was better for this setup.
