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_.
$ rpm -qip cyrus-imapd-2.2.3-10.i386.rpm ..... Size : 18429389 ....
and that is not all of it. Also in a "description" part you can read:
<quote> It differs from other IMAP server implementations in that it is run on "sealed" servers, where users are not normally permitted to log in. </quote>
So what is here really correct?
