Hmmm...
That would make sense for system users with email accounts, but this is
a virtual setup using maildir, they don't have a mail box, but rather a
directory.
All my information is stored in a database; the default homedir, the maildir, email/username and password...etc
Then you aren't using Cyrus correctly. You determine the location os the mail partitions, and that's it. Cyrus determines the name and location of the user's mailboxes. Cyrus is not UW IMAP.
The virtual setup is working because I am able to send to the
users...and they get a a directory with mail in it automatically. The
problem is that I am unable to *retrieve* the mail using pop3.
Thanks,
Emma

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.
