Cyrus on FC2 is compiled to use shadow passwords for authentication, so users must exist on the system before a mailbox is created with cyradm.
The main redeeming feature of cyrus, with its huge size and really PITA administration, is that it is possible to have mailboxes _without_ corresponding accounts on a server. So if this is feature is killed it is difficult to imagine why would anybody would want to use _that_.
Just to confirm what I have read: FC2 will NOT include the UW-IMAPD (I didn't see this in the release notes)???
If so, and if it it true that cyrus is not a drop-in replacement, can we start developing some upgrade documentation? Could people who have done this upgrade before give some details?
Is dovecot a better choice for those upgrading from UW-IMAPd?
