Hi all,

Using Debian stable with courier-auth .47 and courier-imap 3.0.8 I get some
strange results. The main symptom is the inability to login via an IMAP client to the server. I
run a mysql auth backend with the courier-authmysql v0.47 package.

Now normally I'd look to my database config and the authdaemonrc etc, but when I
run the authtest program it queries the database perfectly and authenticates as expected. It is
only when sending requests to the imap server (ie from webmail or from thunderbird and even from
telnet manually) that I get auth failures. I've tried turning on maximum debugging etc but there
seems to be very little that actually does get logged.

Aug 20 21:52:53 debian imaplogin: LOGIN FAILED, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1]

I see that in my /var/log/mail.err log file when I try to login via webmail.

It seems to me that the imap server isnt properly invoking the authdaemon, or
that the authdaemon is not properly invoking the mysql module - although it does when called via the
authtest program.

Any ideas? I can post my authdaemonrc and authmysql files if needed.

Cheers,
