Recently I have expanded my home lan to include a few more devices, a few of which I'd like to be able to read mail on. To this end I'm tring to install courier-imap on my Debian server, with Exim as my MTA. Currently Exim does not use the maildir format, but I am aware of the need to swap over.
The setup should be trivial, as there is only 1 user on the system, me. So it makes sense to me to use "userdb" instead of try anything more complicated. below is the single entry in "userdb", it compiles without any errors and creates userdb.dat, userdb.lock & userdbshadow.dat stuart home=/home/stuart|mail=/home/stuart/Mail|gid=102|imappw=xxx|uid=102 Below is the result of a ps to see what params courier is running with. root 3111 0.0 0.1 1372 492 ? S Feb18 0:00 /usr/lib/courier-imap/libexec/couriertcpd -address=0 -stderrlogger=/usr/lib/courier-imap/libexec/logger -stderrloggername=imapd -maxprocs=40 -maxperip=4 -pid=/var/run/imapd.pid -nodnslookup -noidentlookup 143 /usr/lib/courier-imap/sbin/imaplogin /usr/lib/courier-imap/libexec/authlib/authdaemon /usr/lib/courier-imap/bin/imapd Maildir But when I try & log on I get another error message in syslog: Mar 6 00:40:50 garner imapd: LOGIN FAILED, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1] Can anyone suggest a likely reason when the information in userdb is not being used to authenticate me? Or any steps I can take to narrow down the cause of the problem a little more as this has me stumped. -- | Stuart Grimshaw <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | Chief Operations Officer | Football Networks Ltd |- | t:07976 625221 | f:0870 7051556 _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
