This stuff hasn&#8217;t been easy or straightforward.  That&#8217;s mainly due to linux&#8217;s modular architecture, which is the only way to go, but it&#8217;s a mixed blessing.  By the time you really figure out something like Cyrus, you&#8217;ll likely have learned a lot about linux&#8217;s authentication (PAM), your mail transport agent (MTA &#8211; it actually listens for mail and hands it off to Cyrus), other available MTA&#8217;s (sendmail, exim, qmail&#8230; why are there so many?), PHP and Mysql configuration, and so on.<\/p>\n<p>So I&#8217;m not going to try to explain what it takes to get it all working.
