    I know, but I mean Cyrus with its env and Qpopper with other users.

    I have:
      + on server A:
        - Cyrus v2.2.12 (IMAP) (+ sendmail) with 7531 users
        - authentication via sasl (sasldb)
        - domains a1.domain, a2.domain, ...
      + on server B:
        - Qpopper (POP) with about 200 users
        - auth via /etc/passwd
        - domain b1.domain, b2.domain

    I'd like to move pop users to server A.

    I have problems to enable Cyrus pop because I don't know their passwords
    and I don't want to change or ask to users (for several reasons) for them.

    I'd like to install Qpopper on server A and move all the mailbox
    (standard, one file per user) without stop pop service.

    My problem is: how can I manage incoming email ? How can sendmail to
    route email to Cyrus (mailer cyrusv2) or to standard local mail (for pop
    users) ? Some tricks on sendmail.cf ? mailertable ?

    Bye.
    Marco.
