    Did a couple tests.
    Looks like it can do it, but creates a new problem.
    Need passwords for all users.
    On the cyrus side can temporarily set "sasl_pwcheck_method: allwaystrue".
    Need some way to get into the uw-imap side.
    The uw-imap side uses pam via ldap.
    Thinking of a couple possibilities:
    pam_rhosts_auth allow from just from new server.
    pam_userdb and create a database for the project.
    pam_permit and restrict in hosts.allow or iptables.

    Prefer something that allows doing some test runs with without
    restricting user access.
    Also that would help with the the speed problem as I could run it
    overnight before the switch and then run again after stopping incoming
    mail and user access.
    Any thoughts?

    John
