[imp] Little IMAPD problem

Does user.cyrus exist in Cyrus?
Postfix is configured to deliver via LMTP?  To the correct socket path?
If jordyg or cyrus are not actual posixAccounts do you have postfix
configured to pass lusers to the cyrusv2 mailer?

><replex2@bigbuddha.zenhosting.nl>: data format error. Command output: :
>Mailbox does not exist cyrus: Mailbox does not exist replex2: Mailbox does
>not exist

Does user.replex2 exist in Cyrus?  It looks like it is going to the
Cyrus mailer.  Are you using deliver or LMTP?

"Default user"?
