Holy moly.

Looking for cyrus on machine was interesting as almost all of the files
would not come up with a 'locate' command. And still do not. I am
manually going through all the doc folders and etc and sys folders since
locate cannot find them (and they are there)

maybe
rpm -ql cyrus-imapd

True. "locate" only works after updatedb has been run.

There is only one book on amazon about cyrus and it is not in print
yet....one. And it has nothing to do with sendmail. Redhat has little
info on it although it calls it the 'default' pop3 for the enterprise 5.1
(centos
in my case)

All I am looking to do is have sendmail put the mail into users mailboxes
(users who will be from virtual hosts like jim@xxxxxxxxxx and
sally@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) and just allow me to grab the emails with good old
outlook....and of course send the mails (but that is sendmail I believe.)

And you think that's *easy*?? Whenever you work with virtual hosts, things get tricky.


Are there any good tutorials just for that, cause by god the program does
everything under the sun and is rather confusing at first glance...

How many users do you have, how do you want to authenticate them? Things
are quite different if you have 10 or 10000 users on a server. Cyrus can
do alot which is why it has quite some features you may have to configure.
I can't help with sendmail, I didn't touch it in the last 8 years but
found postfix much easier for me.

I can help with the sendmail integration if neccesary. The authentication is probably the most difficult part, though.
