Getting IDLED working for instantanous mail notification

All of our users are accustomed to knowing instantly when they have new mail, a la Outlook on Exchange. They don't need to check their mail at all because the Exchange server notifies their Outlook client.

Now that I'm replacing our Exchange server with the mail services of Panther Server, I'm expecting our users to complain that their e-mail is now "delayed." As I understand it, Cyrus supports the IDLE command for notifying mail clients of new mail, and the IDLED daemon is part of the Cyrus distribution itself. But for reasons unknown to me, Apple omitted the IDLED daemon in Panther Server.

Does anybody have the IDLED daemon compiled as a binary they could share with me? I'm not savvy enough to compile Cyrus with all its various dependencies...
