My reason for asking is that when I am installing a new server I would prefer to have the packages that I use on the install CD or DVD. I understand that I can go out and get the packages and include this as part of my extras install. I would just like to see that Cyrus be maintained as a standard package. By the other responses that were sent out it looks as though the extras will not get left behind, this I am thankfull for. When Dovecot gets their sasl out and has a complete package I will also experiment with it as well. Since we are still in the test phase of Core4 and Dovecot is in the beta of 1.0, why is it not part of the install? Just to clarify, I do not mean to disrespect anyone by asking questions. Just would like the info. Thanx, Don
