I am no longer a total Cyrus IMAP newbie. Cyrus IMAP newbies don’t run and administer Cyrus IMAP servers, at least not for long.<\/p>\n

That said, I’ve lost a lot of email along the way. This stuff hasn’t been easy or straightforward. That’s mainly due to linux’s modular architecture, which is the only way to go, but it’s a mixed blessing. By the time you really figure out something like Cyrus, you’ll likely have learned a lot about linux’s authentication (PAM), your mail transport agent (MTA – it actually listens for mail and hands it off to Cyrus), other available MTA’s (sendmail, exim, qmail… why are there so many?), PHP and Mysql configuration, and so on.<\/p>\n

So I’m not going to try to explain what it takes to get it all working. The main doc that makes that attempt is here<\/SLASH>. Use it as a reference – it’s extremely unlikely you’ll be able to actually go through the outlined steps directly. I definitely recommend trying to find a pre-built package for your distro.<\/p>\n

I just wanted to document the steps that are needed with postfix and cyrus to get multiple virtual domains handled on one installation. There are two files that need tweaking, \/etc\/postfix\/main.cf, and \/etc\/imapd.conf.<\/p>\n
