Thanks for the reply. I was trying to be brief because I thought that I find the answer in any docs that would appear.
Just to let you know. I am using Postfix + Cyrus + MySQL + SASL to use Virtual Domains and Email Accounts. The virtual setup with mysql seems to be working fine, because I can send an email to the virtual user in my database and a virtual mailbox gets created (using maildir). But, getting the mail (pop 3) is a different story. I have gone through a few different tutorials for cyrus/imap etc... and I have been able to get the configuration understood - except for this. I test this email two ways. 1) From Outlook and 2) telnet localhost pop3. I get the same error message when testing: -ERR[AUTH] INVALID LOGIN My message log says: Saslauthd: do_auth: auth failure [EMAIL PROTECTED] [service=pop] [realm=] [mech=pam] [reason=PAM auth error] pop3: badlogin: plaintext [EMAIL PROTECTED] SSL(-13): authentication failure: checkpass failed I am assuming the second error is because of the first. I know the passwords that I am using are correct. I have one account that the password is encrypted, the other where the password is not. Testing both gives me the same error. Here are my config files: /etc/postfix/sasl/smtp.conf pwcheck_method = saslauthd mech = PLAIN LOGIN /etc/sysconfig/sasl/authd START = yes MECH =pam /etc/pam.d/smtp, /etc/pam.d/imap, /etc/pam.d/pop #%PAM-1.0 auth required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth account required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth auth required /lib/security/pam_mysql.so user=dbuser passwd=dbpass host=localhost db=dbname table=users usercolumn=email passwdcolumn=password crypt=1 auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_mysql.so user=dbuser passwd=dbpass host=localhost db=dbname table=users usercolumn=email passwdcolumn=password crypt=1 Thanks in advance for any advice/help or documentation that anyone can provide. Been on this for days now...

All I seem to find are IMAP configuration tutorials. They are one in the same. Just follow the installation instructions and then make the user's INBOX and you're all set. For example, in cyradm just do: cm user.emma -- Kenneth Murchison Oceana Matrix Ltd.
