didn't you notice my previous post "cyrus + macosx server - security update"
or the sentence "until the latest security update broke mbpath" in this one?
(mbpath is a component of the cyrus installation).
Actually, just to make sure this is not only a problem with my setup,
could anyone with macosx server check that "/usr/bin/cyrus/bin/mbpath
user.validusermailboxname" still works (when run as root and where
validusermailboxname is just the username of a mail enabled user) on
their box after the update?
The switch to exim has not really been a switch, but a necessity, as
I do not know otherwise how to configure postfix to check for the
local deliverability of incoming emails during the SMTP phase. As I
wrote somewhere else I think that a standard MacOSX Server box should
not be deployed as a mailserver on the internet as it is, that is as
a collateral spam factory.
