Thanks for your reply.
I ended up fixing the error by adding "account required /lib/security/pam_permit.so" at the top of my pop file in pam.d/pop
I first tried pam_warn.so, and that told me that my account had expired, and since the really is no system account - email is virtual - I figured that is why it was giving the error. After adding pam_permit I have had no more auth errors.
But now I am getting the error:
-ERR [SYS/PERM] Unable to locate maildrop
any ideas?
The system can find the INBOX for the user that is logging in. You need to create a mailbox named user.<username> for each user that will be accessing mail via IMAP or POP.
Testsaslauthd? Where would I find this on RH ES? Do I still need it now
I am not getting auth errors?
No.
Thanks, Emma

Hi All,
I am running Cyrus Imap 2.2.3 on RH ES 3.0 using MySQL 3.23.58 as my database so I can use my mail server with virtual domains (maildir).
I believe that I have configured everything correctly except I am getting the error below when I check pop3 email:
do_auth : auth failure: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [service=pop] [realm=] [mech=pam] [reason=PAM auth error]
pop3[28753]: badlogin: my.ipaddress.location.etc plaintext [EMAIL PROTECTED] SASL(-13): authentication failure: checkpass failed
Compile the testsaslauthd program in the SASL distro, and make sure that
you can authenticate before moving on to Cyrus.
