Thanks to all for your replies, I will be looking further into this. I have a
slight leaning toward Cyrus for some reason, I think, but it will probably come
down to how good the documentation and config layout is (the main reasons I
don't get on with qmail!).

Oh, and yes Courier does afiak, not sure about Cyrus, but we are using qmail
with courier and ssl at work.
