Hi, Yes, it's a logging-in problem :)
I run the following system: FreeBSD 4.6 qmail-1.03 vpopmail 5.2 Courier IMAP 3.0.5 Squirrelmail 1.4.3a I have a fairly standard virtual mail host setup - using vpopmail, many domains, each with several email accounts, all running under the standard vpopmail/vchkpw user ids. The stack mentioned above works absolutely fine when not using Squirrelmail as the IMAP client. I can run clients locally (pine) and remotely (Evolution) with no problem. Usernames are of the form [EMAIL PROTECTED] When I start using Squirrelmail, however, strange things start happening. I have one account (happens to be mine) which can always log in. Other accounts can sometimes log in. After a while, seemingly no account (apart from mine) can log in. Once this starts happening, the other IMAP clients start failing to log in (note: if they're already logged in before I use Squirrelmail, they continue to work fine). Pine is the most interesting: it'll look like it's authenticated, but sit there spinning on "Opening folder INBOX" for ages, then finally time out. Evo simply reports its standard incorrect username/password. Notably, if SM is going to fail to auth, it seems to sit there for ages before giving me the 'Unknown user or password incorrect' box. I've tried increasing my daemons line in authdaemonrc to 20. This improved matters, but did not eliminate the problem. I'm still authenticating using the vchkpw module (haven't migrated to userdb yet). My authmodulelist is "authcustom authuserdb authvchkpw authpam". I'm posting on the SM list because every other IMAP client seems to work fine. Logic would dictate that it's therefore a SM problem - unless it's something to do with the fact that SM has to reconnect to the IMAP server multiple times. If this has already been solved somewhere, then I'd be grateful if someone can point me to the relevant posting (I've not managed to find it!) Otherwise, any thoughts?
