Actually that's what i want to setup: Replacing Exchange with Exim&Cyrus
... i wanted to use the old cyrus version that comes with the default
Debian Woody distribution.
I tried the cyrus21 with sasl2 some time ago, but had back then the same
problem with the users and exim ... hwo do you solve that? Do you tell
exim to check the user against sasl2? Do you use exim3 or exim4? I use
exim3 at the moment.

Maybe i should switch from exim3 & cyrus to exim4 and cyrus21 ???
