Hi there, I just thought I'd mention that I had a go at installing and
running the hmh branch. One thing I noticed is that it will fill the
syslog with errors of the form:

IOERROR: opening /var/lib/cyrus/user_deny.db: No such file or directory

As this is a flat file database, I tried just touching the file.
Although, this still leads to quite a lot of messages of the form
(modified to avoid harvesting):

fetching user_deny.db entry for 'francis at xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.co.uk'

Apparently, this can be quite problematic in some cases as mentioned
here:

The other thing I noticed is that there are a some cyrus binary tools
that don't seem to get installed such as cyr_df although its manpage is.

As for the server itself, it seems to run fine, although I only use it
for mail for myself.

Francis
