Hi Mike I figured I send you the Debian way for your wiki aka manual but you guest it that's not all I have some questions. What is the ANONYMOUS for in 'mech_list: PLAIN LOGIN ANONYMOUS' and you said with rimap we are authenticating against imap. Does that mean it goes goes like this? saslauthd -->rimap ---->imap -------->mysql answer OK or NOPE ------------->imap ----------------->rimap ---------------------->saslauthd Does that also work with LDAP? See my plan is it to have LDAP as the user DB so I was OK with pam-mySQL for now till dbMail is ready to go production with the LDAP module. I mainly am going to move my xoops users over to this server and xoops is going LDAP. I am also setting up egroupware which is also OK with LDAP. Now tell me is this rimap think still ok for my setup? We are having sasl in postfix because we are running it chrooted: nano /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf mech_list: PLAIN LOGIN ANONYMOUS pwcheck_method: saslauthd nano /etc/default/saslauthd START=yes PARAMS="-m /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd -r" #MECHANISMS="pam" MECHANISMS="rimap -O localhost" -- Demi
