hello courier-users!

i am new to this mailing list. i am experiencing several difficulties with courier-installation and couldnt find help out there - even google let me down :-( - so i hope you guys can give me a hand on this:

linux-distro: gentoo 1.1a (kernel 2.4.19)

i installed mysql postfix and courier (with mysql support). i set up the mysql database (maildb) with 3 tables like this: mysql> show tables; +------------------+ | Tables_in_maildb | +------------------+ | transport | | users | | virtual | +------------------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> describe transport; +-----------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +-----------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | domain | varchar(128) | | PRI | | | | transport | varchar(128) | | MUL | | | +-----------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> describe virtual; +---------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +---------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | address | varchar(255) | | PRI | | | | goto | varchar(255) | | | | | +---------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ 2 rows in set (0.01 sec)

mysql> describe users; +---------+----------------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +---------+----------------------+------+-----+---------+-------+

| id | varchar(128) | | PRI | | | | address | varchar(128) | | UNI | | | | crypt | varchar(128) | | | | | | clear | varchar(128) | | | | | | name | varchar(128) | | | | | | uid | smallint(5) unsigned | | | 0 | | | gid | smallint(5) unsigned | | | 0 | | | home | varchar(128) | | | / | | | domain | varchar(128) | | | | | | maildir | varchar(255) | | | | | | imapok | tinyint(3) unsigned | | | 1 | | | bool1 | tinyint(3) unsigned | | | 1 | | | bool2 | tinyint(3) unsigned | | | 1 | | +---------+----------------------+------+-----+---------+-------+

i filled the tables as followed: transport: +------------+-----------+ | domain | transport | +------------+-----------+ | symbion.at | virtual: | +------------+-----------+ 1 row in set (0.01 sec)

users: +-------------------+-------------------+---------------+-------+--------+------+------+----------------+------------+--------------------------------+--------+-------+-------+ | id | address | crypt | clear | name | uid | gid | home | domain | maildir | imapok | bool1 | bool2 | +-------------------+-------------------+---------------+-------+--------+------+------+----------------+------------+--------------------------------+--------+-------+-------+ | ste...@symbion.at | ste...@symbion.at | rL68ZT/NKOc1Q | | stefan | 1000 | 1000 | /home/lectrix/ | symbion.at | /home/lectrix/.maildir-stefan/ | 1 | 1 | 1 | +-------------------+-------------------+---------------+-------+--------+------+------+----------------+------------+--------------------------------+--------+-------+-------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)

virtual: +-------------------+---------+ | address | goto | +-------------------+---------+ | ste...@symbion.at | lectrix | +-------------------+---------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)

here are the cruicial files i modiefied according to several how-to's...

/etc/courier-imap/egrep ^[^#] authdaemonrc authmodulelist="authmysql" authmodulelistorig="authcustom authcram authuserdb authmysql authpam" daemons=5 version="authdaemond.mysql" authdaemonvar=/var/lib/courier-imap/authdaemon

just to prove that authdaemon is here...

symbion courier-imap # ll /usr/lib/courier-imap/authlib/ total 148 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 May 20 16:37 . drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 May 20 16:37 .. -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 16772 May 20 16:37 authdaemon -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 398 May 20 16:37 authdaemond -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 62376 May 20 16:37 authdaemond.mysql -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 48192 May 20 16:37 authdaemond.plain

... and running...

mysql and imapd is also running ok.

so far so good. here is the problem:

symbion courier-imap # telnet localhost 143 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. * OK Courier-IMAP ready. Copyright 1998-2002 Double Precision, Inc. See COPYING for distribution information. . login ste...@symbion.at XXXXXXXXX . NO Login failed. . logout * BYE Courier-IMAP server shutting down . OK LOGOUT completed Connection closed by foreign host. symbion courier-imap #

while syslogd logs:

May 20 21:01:02 www imapd: Connection, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1] May 20 21:01:14 www imapd: LOGIN FAILED, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1]

i am not an expert but i need this get running pretty soon, i hope i gave you enough information and someone can give me a hint or a solution to this.

thanks!
