I'm using Cyrus IMAP (and POP) on my FreeBSD server.  There is no direct=20
correlation between Cyrus accounts and system accounts, unless you go out o=
f=20
your way to make it so.  Authentication can be against a private database,=

Kerberos, an LDAP server, or anything else you can bind Cyrus SASL to.  Als=
o,=20
while I'd previously used Sendmail as the MTA, I recently switched to Postf=
ix=20
without changing a single bit of the backend configuration.  I mention this=
=20
because it was important to me that I not be tied to a particular MTA.

Hope this helps!
