Hi Rich, My Postfix/Cyrus problems were before I started with Fedora-DS. My next task is to integrate the three products. Do you know of any good documentation around? I have seen Dovecot documentation on the FDS site, but nothing about Cyrus. I didn't use any FDS1.0.4 software because F8 installed 1.1 for me. Ubuntu didn't make it from download to DVD - it is still on my HDD as an ISO. Because I've solved my problems so far, I'll stick with F8.
