hi!
as much as possible, i dont want to use packages. i want to install
from the source tarball. anyway, i started from scratch again and
followed the instructions (installing courier-imap) from
http://howtos.eoutfitters.net/email/#installation. I was able to run
imapd but my imap client (netscape messenger) always gets a failed
login, though the username/password im using can login(ssh and telnet)
to the server. i configured it with
./configure \
--without-certdb \
--without-authpam \
--without-authldap \
--without-authpwd \
--without-authmysql \
--without-authpgsql \
--without-authvchkpw \
--without-authcram \
--without-authdaemon \
--without-authcustom
and my users are supposed to be authenticated from the /etc/shadow
file.
[root@mail etc]# telnet 10.10.10.1 143
Trying 10.10.10.1 ...

my maillog shows:
Apr 12 09:20:14 dns imapd: Connection, ip=[::ffff:10.10.10.2]
Apr 12 09:20:26 dns imapd: LOGOUT, ip=[::ffff:10.10.10.2]

Apr 12 09:24:56 dns imapd: LOGIN FAILED, ip=[::ffff:10.10.10.2]
what else did i missed?
thanks a lot.
