Postfix Cyrus Web cyradm HOWTO

Deprecated packages for Debian stable and testing:

Debian users

probably want to install packages provided by Debian. Unfortunately Debian

stable (Woody) and testing (sarge) are using the deprecated version of the

software used in this HOWTO. I tested the respective packages from Debian

unstable (sid) and the are working. Please note, that the maintainers at

Debian are very conservative. The software packages  postfix mysql ,

 libsasl2  and  cyrus21 imapd  are stable, even if they are only available in

the  unstable  tree.
