Would have been, if you were using MySQL 5.0.x. I found out
the hard way, that the released stable 0.5.4 of web-cyradm
doesn't work with MySQL 5.0.x. The CVS version of web-cyradm
is capable of using MySQL 5.

Uhm. No. web-cyradm is an application written in PHP. So,
no, web-cyradm doesn't talk with PHP. web-cyradm *is*
PHP. Thus, web-cyradm talks with MySQL. It updates (add/delete)
login information. This login information is stored in MySQL.

Well. In a way, web-cyradm talks to the PHP *interpreter*
and makes the PHP system then do "stuff". So, yes, in a
way web-cyradm talks to PHP. But not really. I don't know.
"Web-cyradm talks with php to MySQL" is a strange way of
putting it.

No. Well. I don't know. What do you mean by "configuration"?
The Postfix configuration is stored in /etc/postfix.

Yes.

I think so, yes.

Yes.
