When I issue the IMAP command LOGIN for a valid user/password with no maildir, courier-imap drops the connection.
This seems like a reasonable response to me. Unfortunately, this causes the popular web mail client squirrelmail to go into an endless loop and eat up all the available CPU until apache is killed or timed out. The IMP web mail client works fine. I know this is a problem with squirrelmail, and I have hacked it to prevent this. However, I am curious if the IMAP spec would suggest other behavior for courier-imap. It seems to me the preferred response might be one of 'OK', 'NO', or 'BAD'--instead of just dropping the connection. just a thought -elijah p.s. I am using: debian stable courier-imap 1.4.3-2.3 my setup: user accounts are in ldap, and until an account is 'active' it does not actually have a maildir or a maildir attribute in the ldap entry. I am assuming that courier-imap attempts to chdir to '' and dies. (the same thing happens if there is a maildir attr but the actual maildir doesn't exist). I like having accounts in ldap which don't yet have maildirs, because then 'pending' users can edit their other settings before they are approved and able to send and receive mail. apologies if this behavior is changed in newer versions of courier-imap. I have checked the changelog and didn't see anything. (as an aside, i just migrated a couple thousand users from cyrus to courier and i couldn't be happier.) ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by:Crypto Challenge is now open!
