Thanks - this is not a big deal thankfully since I have all of 3
users.
I've fixed my authentication problem. It turns out that the reason it
worked locally is that the local Mutt was trying AUTH LOGIN, which I
have disabled on all the other copies of mailers I was using. I
didn't even think that Courier-IMAP would permit plaintext password
transmission because it appeared to be disabled in the Web
configurator (the checkbox for AUTH=PLAIN wasn't present for non-SSL
configurations).
Here's what eventually worked for me:
# cd /etc/courier
# mkdir userdb
# chmod go-rwx userdb
(not necessary in my case, but make sure it's not readable)
# pw2userdb > userdb/users
Repeat for each user:
# userdbpw -hmac-md5 | userdb users/<username> set hmac-md5pw
(do NOT use -md5, it doesn't work)
Password: <enter password>
Reenter password: <reenter password>
# makeuserdb
In /etc/courier/authdaemonrc, make sure authmodulelist="authcram"; if
you set it to include the seemingly innocuous "authpam" it'll permit
plaintext login.
Also edit /etc/courier/imapd to include this line:
IMAP_CAPABILITY="IMAP4rev1 CHILDREN NAMESPACE THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT THREAD=REFERENCES
SORT AUTH=CRAM-MD5"
If you get a message like this when running 'makeuserdb':
Cannot store record for gary - duplicate or out of disk space.
Make sure there are no extraneous files in /etc/courier/userdb - like
editor backup files, which makeuserdb does not ignore.
And somehow I managed to break webmail authentication, but since I'll
be recompiling it to fix the GECOS/domain problems (thanks for the
patch!), I'm not too concerned.
