This was my confusion also, learning the Cyrus/Courier
differences. Many of the How-To I found used Cyrus but
I could also find many who said Cyrus was evil. In
trying to see what it was doing right or wrong when trying to
do the setup and I would say it was cryptic at best to me.
As a side, I meant no disrespect for what you left out of your
How-To Johnny, I think I found a response as to why you did
it in answer somewhere else and that seemed reasonable. I do
suppose the only true way to make this work.. is to learn each
piece and make it work for me instead of hoping for a step by
step to get me going quicker. Sometimes it's just nice to be a
bit lazy with the new things, it's quite a deal going from Sendmail
to something else as it is :)
Thanks.
