[CentOS] Re: dovecot vs Cyrus-Imapd

[Peter Farrow]

I have seen some instances where Dovecot stops responding on high end 
servers.

I've also seen systems where Cyrus gobbles up resources when mailboxes 
get large, to such an extent it cripples the machine.

My preference is Dovecot, it is very easy to setup and maintain.

I might be wrong here but I thought Cyrus has a user base separate to 
the Unix accounts, which is either a PITA or a blessing depending on 
what you want.  My experience is this would be a PITA but for 10,000 
users this could be beneficial...

In each case I would stick with Dovecot...
