Chapter 7. Installing the Cyrus IMAP Server
Smooth is the name of the game when it comes to installing the Cyrus server. Aside from the fact that there are several dependencies on other packages, code hacking and Makefile mangling should not be necessary. Cyrus is a very good example of platform-independent open source software that makes no broad assumptions about the technical or psychic ability of the person installing it.
Software Prerequisites
Cyrus imapd requires a modest complement of additional freely available software. You need only Tool Command Language (Tcl) Version 7.5 or later and sendmail[29] 8.7.1 or later. If you’re installing Cyrus Version l.6 or later, Cyrus SASL is also required.
If your site has Kerberos, you can compile Cyrus with Kerberos support to add additional security to your IMAP infrastructure. Although your install might go marginally smoother or faster if you have makedepend installed, you can also use the dummy shell script included with the package as a workaround for not having makedepend.
[29] Although sendmail enjoys wild popularity as an MTA, you could use any reasonable MTA that permits you to choose Cyrus deliver as your delivery agent.
