Hi All:

I'm in the process of setting up Qmail, vpopmail and courier-IMAP for our
small ISP.

Qmail and vpopmail were/are working fine.  I'm having some problems with
adding courier-imap into the mix.  First my setup:

RedHat 6.2, and all current patches from RedHat
Qmail 1.03
vpopmail v4.9.6
Courier-IMAP v1.2.2

I setup Qmail+vpopmail to start with, created 3 virtual e-mail domains to
test with and everything was working fine.  I was able to send and receive
with all 3 domains using POP.  Great.  (BTW,vpopmail seems waaaay easier to
setup and use than vmailmgr...)

Now it was time to add IMAP to the mix.  I want to be able to use the Qmail
Maildir format so Courier was it.  I dl the tar ball and created the RPMs.
I only installed the courier-imap-1.2.2-1.6.2.rpm package.

I stopped Qmail's POP server and set the IPs to listen on in the
imapd.config and pop3d.config files and fired up the courier server using
the SysInit V scripts.

I couldn't log in using POP or IMAP.  OK.

I stopped courier and started reading more of the docs.  Using both the
INSTALL and vchkpw2userdb (8) files I created /etc/userdb and ran the
vchkpw2userdb script, then ran the makeuserdb script to create the master
db.  I don't have and don't want a "default" domain and local users on the
machine should not get mail.  (At least for now...)

I restarted the courier daemons but I still can't login with POP or IMAP.
So I really have 2 questions:  1)  any idea on what I might have done wrong
and what I need to do to get this working?  2) do I need to rerun the
vchpw2userdb script everytime I use the vpopmail utils to add domains and
users?

[This isn't even near a production system right now... but I'm trying to
learn enough so we can migrate off NT entirely.]

TIA...Chris
