The Cyrus IMAP server differs from other IMAP server implementations in that it is generally intended to be run on sealed servers, where normal users are not permitted to log in. The mailbox database is stored in parts of the filesystem that are private to the Cyrus IMAP system. All user access to mail is through the IMAP, POP3, or KPOP protocols. From Antoine Jacoutot <ajacoutot@lphp.org> help & ok naddy@, thanks!

The Cyrus IMAP server differs from other IMAP server implementations in
|
|
that it is generally intended to be run on sealed servers, where normal
|
|
users are not permitted to log in. The mailbox database is stored in
|
|
parts of the filesystem that are private to the Cyrus IMAP system. All
|
|
user access to mail is through the IMAP, POP3, or KPOP protocols.
|
|
|
|
The private mailbox database design gives the server large advantages in
|
|
efficiency, scalability, and administratability. Multiple concurrent
|
|
read/write connections to the same mailbox are permitted. The server
|
|
supports access control lists on mailboxes and storage quotas on mailbox
|
|
hierarchies.
|
|
|
|
Because of cyrus-imapd+OpenBSD mmap uncompatibility, the server runs in
|
|
compat mode incuring a performance penalty under high load.
|
|
|
|
Following man pages have been renamed to avoid conflicts with other
|
|
packages:
|
|
fetchnews(8) -> cyrus-fetchnews(8) # conflict with news/leafnode
|
|
idled(8) -> cyrus-idled(8) # conflict with sysutils/idled
|
|
master(8) -> cyrus-master(8) # conflict with mail/postfix
|
|
imapd(8) -> cyrus-imapd(8) # conflict with mail/courier-imap
|
|
|
|
Cyrus-imapd uses the LOG_LOCAL6 syslog facility for logging. This port
|
|
of cyrus-imapd uses idled for IMAP IDLE.
|

|
Available flavors:
|
|
drac - Build drac support (for roaming users relay)
|
|
kerberos - Build support for KerberosV authentication
