PLEASE NOTE THIS CONFIGURATION DOES NOT CURRENTLY WORK.  I have received a set of configs from an administrator with a working environment and once I can successfully implement them I will post my work. 

Cyrus Murder Setup:

On all machines:

# useradd -g murder murder

# passwd murder

<password via STDIO>

# saslpasswd2 -c murder

<password via STDIO>

Master:

• /etc/imapd.conf
• /etc/cyrus.conf

Backend(s):

• /etc/imapd.conf
• /etc/cyrus.conf

Frontend(s):

• /etc/imapd.conf
• /etc/cyrus.conf

Current Problems:

• Cannot get lmtp to send email from the frontend to the backend servers.

• Cannot get frondend commands to be accepted by the backend servers. Added allowplaintext: yes to config
• User autocreate creates the user on the frontend server.  Tried moving the user to a different server but the server could not access itself.  This is probably related to the same issue with the backend server communication.  How to default to a particular store (or have it autocreated on ANY backend).
