cyrus is such a pain, and requires more horsepower on a single box.
It is better to run five really crappy cheap servers using courier over 
NFS

if you are not a really experienced email admin, then stay away from 
cyrus, but on the other hand, if you are an experienced email admin you 
might like cyrus.

Cyrus is nice when you have a couple servers with lots of horsepower IMHO, 
courier is better for lots of crappy servers.
