I have to chime in with the others on this - Even if you're going to 
make some heavy modifications to how you build Cyrus, it's a huge help 
to start out with Simon's source RPMs and then modify them. Cyrus is a 
painful package to get running properly, but it really does the job once 
you're there.

Just curious - how big of a user base are you supporting with this? 
Linux can be a little difficult to tweak for performance if you're 
shipping a lot of email in.  If you have some problems let me know - I 
support a pretty big email environment in Cyrus on Linux.
