Thanks for the feedback! Good to know that the problem might go away
once we switch to the newer version.

The cyrus-imapd-2.3.7-r20.ebuild was something I did not test
yet. That's the reason it is still masked. The newer postfix version
too.

Then I should probably try to fix the ebuild and get it out so that
people can continue to test this on 64bit machines.

Thanks again.

Cheers,

Gunnar
