[ILUG] Cyrus or Dovecot

[Tom Salmon]

Dovecot is also very easy to configure at the command line too.

I set it up to use a MySQL backend for user authentication, as well as several other far simpler deployments, all with relative ease.

I usually enable POP3S/IMAPS as this is a trivial task (without using proper certificates).
