RE: [vchkpw] More ip alias woes
Squirrelmail is on a different computer than the mail server in question. It accesses it via the IP that is in the ip_alias_map table in MySQL for that domain. Logging in manually to the Courier server brings up the same "Maildir: No such file or directory" error. The username/password authentication works; if I type the wrong password, it fails the login.. Only if I use a proper username/password pair will it give the error.

RE: [vchkpw] More ip alias woes
I telnetted with the same result: * BYE [ALERT] Fatal error: Maildir: No such file or directory It authenticates against the correct domain, however it is unable to find the Maildir/ for that user.. In the case where I have an account with the same username/password on the default domain and and the vipmap'd domain, I am able to log in to the vipmap'd domain, but I get my default-domains Maildir/ . This indicates to me that the authentication takes place properly, but authvchkpw tries to put me in the default domains directory instead of the vipmap'd one.. Perhaps I'm wrong on that one, but for some reason Courier/authvchkpw is not finding the right directory.. For the time being, I have put a note on our squirrel mail login page to use the full email address(which works fine), but I'd like to let users on certain vipmap'd domains log into squirrelmail without their full email address... POP3 functionality is working fine, which is why I believe the problem is with authvchkpw, but since it is built using libvpopmail.a, it could also be a vpopmail issue..

Let me know if any more information is needed.. Thanks, You mention that SquirrelMail does not work. What if you telnet to 143 and test login that way? My guess is that squirrelmail is not passing the correct IP to courier-imap. One possible workaround would be to have squirrelmail look at the HTTP_HOST header and append the domain to the login. I used to do this for my customers. I there's even a plugin now. Regards, Bill Shupp
