It's called Windows. :)

I already did.

cyrus_delivery:
  driver = smtp
  protocol = lmtp
  hosts = 127.0.0.1
  allow_localhost = true

Works like a charm. :)

Wow. We get a few virii attachments (sexyfun about once a month) but
basically we might go ages without any executable attachments in mail
(which bounce in our server on impact).

This changed only recently when one of our employees at CARES got her
name into a Lentin/YAHA-infected address book. Now we get a couple mails
a week bouncing off our server as people write us, saying that our user
has another Outlook worm. (She hasn't, of course, this worm fakes its
mail headers with harvested e-mails.)
