We are currently in the process of deciding between cyrus or courier,
but have not gotten far enough to have looked closely at either of
these programs. As I see from the web page, cyrus uses some kind of
its own spool format. Are there any serious drawbacks impled with that
setup on a system that doesn't have any local users? How severe are
these drawbacks on a system that has a few (knowledgeable) users that
like to read their mail locally?
