Hi Bill (and other courier-users) ! It seems you have the same problem me and Rio had some time ago. (Actually I don't know whether Rio got his server working or not. I'm hoping no news is good news in this case :-) )
Here's my two cents (I'm recycling my previous answer to Rio -- this may not work for you but my server has been working rock solid): >>>> I had the same exact problem. People on the list didn't have any comments on this subject so this behaviour is propably quite rare. As far as I can tell, my problems were caused by a bad libvpopmail.a. This is how I finally got it working on RedHat 7.3 (I'm using MySQL backend with vpopmail -- if you don't, then drop the "--enable-mysql=y" from vpopmail configuration and propably the "LDFLAGS" stuff from courier configuration, too): vpopmail-5.3.9: # ./configure --enable-learn-passwords=y \ > --enable-clear-passwd=y --enable-mysql=y \ > --enable-roaming-users=y --enable-file-sync=y # chmod 644 /home/vpopmail/lib/libvpopmail.a Needs to be done since courier-imap should be compiled as a regular user and libvpopmail.a is 600 by default. courier-imap-1.5.3: $ LDFLAGS="-L/usr/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient -lz" $ export LDFLAGS $ ./configure --with-authvchkpw Hope this works for you. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rio Martin" To: [courier-users] Dear all, I am running courier-imap-1.5.3.20020921 down here, together with Vpopmail-5.2.1 Weirdly, sometimes my users cannot login through IMAP, the error says wrong password, but if the users use pop3, they always able to log in. This trouble settled temporary if i restarted authdaemond.plain, so i must add one command to restarted autthdaemond.plain every 5 minutes to crontab. <<<< ----- Original Message ----- From: B Has anyone experienced Intermittent Auth problems? I am running courier-imap 1.6.0 on RedHat 7.3 using vpopmail with mysql on the backend for authentication. There is a contention issues with authentication. Auth will intermittently fail, it seems to be better when the daemon first starts. I have tried to chase the problem in vpopmail and mysql but I have not been able to isolate it any further back than the authdaemon. The mail system supports about 200 users. ---- Yst�v�llisin terveisin / Best regards Jussi Siponen ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: To learn the basics of securing your web site with SSL, click here to get a FREE TRIAL of a Thawte Server Certificate: http://www.gothawte.com/rd524.html _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
