 |
|
I have Imap running on a machine. I can telnet into the box running Imap on port 143 without a hitch.
| Code: | Trying 198.xxx.xxx.xxx...
Connected to xxx.xxxxxx.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
* OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 UIDPLUS CHILDREN NAMESPACE THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT THREAD=REFERENCES SORT QUOTA IDLE STARTTLS] Courier-IMAP ready. Copyright 1998-2003 Double Precision, Inc. See COPYING for distribution information.

But the server will not authenticate a user that has a valid account via squirrel mail or using a Mozilla Mail client. Just gives me an invalid user/password error. How do I connect the users on the system with imap for authentication? I've never done any mail related setup before and so far it's been a nightmare. Any help is much appriciated. Thanks! |

If it is Courier IMAP then you may need to start authdaemond (look in /etc/init.d for a script).

Which method are you using to authenticate users? I had similar symptoms when using Courier with Vpopmail. I edited /etc/courier-imap/authdaemonrc so that the only authentication method selected was vchkpw.
| Code: | | authmodulelist="authvchkpw" |
Try setting this to the method you want to use. Possible values are authcustom, authcram, authuserdb, authvchkpw, authmysql, authpam
Just a thought...
