You don't need shell accounts for courier.  Please explain how Cyrus is 
easier with 20-30 or more users...  Courier conforms to standards, 
unlike Cyrus (in terms of mail layout etc) and is easier to tie in to 
ant MTA system you want (that can do maildir) and my installation that 
supports more than 20-30 accounts works just fine, with no shell 
accounts...
