You have probably seen this already, but the Ubuntu postfix + cyrus
howto can be found here:

|
| Here's my needs:
|
| - Multi domain (but few users / low volume)
| - IMAP/POP3 (of course)
| - Low maintenance
| - Anti-spam / virus (with auto learn and updates)
| - Multi-folder capable. (i.e. I want to be able to create sub folders
| under the Inbox and direct mail to the appropriate folder)
| - Sieve or some kind of server side filtering capabilities (with an easy
| interface)
|
| Calendaring would be a nice to have, but not critical for my needs.
|
| I've tried Citadel in the past (1+ year ago) and didn't like it (lack of
| access to logs when things go wrong).  I don't know what the current
| incarnation is like.  I've tried Kolab and it needed a bit too much
| maintenance for my tastes (2.1 days I think it was...).  I'm open to
| going low level with Postfix/exim/cyrus/courier/spamassasin/etc., but
| want a good how-to to follow where I can set things up once and more or
| less forget about it.  Oh, and I'm looking for it to run on a Ubuntu
| server (though that isn't critical).
|
| My primary focus is low maintenance.  I don't want to be wasting lots of
| time just to keep the server running and current.  Everything else is
| more or less typical of a modern mail server, I think.. :)
|
| So, any recommendations / suggestions?
|

| (ps, I know this is somewhat of a loaded question... but I'm wearing my
| "business manager" hat right now.. not my techie hat...)
