Hi,

I have setup freebsd 6.2 with postfix, courier-imap with mysql backend, but everytime i try to login via squirrelmail or roundcube, i get the following error in my maillog file

Feb 13 22:39:30 zz imapd: LOGIN FAILED, user=xx@yy.dk, ip=[127.0.0.1] Feb 13 22:39:30 zz imapd: authentication error: Input/output error

I need some help, please ;)

Whenever I've seen this, it's been a problem with the authentication daemon talking to the database (in your case, MySQL.) Turn up the debugging options in the authentication daemon config file, restart the daemon, and use the "authtest" program to check before you try and login to Courier IMAP.

That will log any MySQL-related errors.

I turned on the debug option, and got the following in the debug.log

Feb 15 18:02:30 odin imapd: Connection, ip=[127.0.0.1] Feb 15 18:02:30 odin authdaemond: received auth request, service=imap, authtype=login Feb 15 18:02:30 odin authdaemond: authmysql: trying this module Feb 15 18:02:30 odin authdaemond: authmysql: TEMPFAIL - no more modules will be tried

Another thread on this mailing list, about the same error but with ldap - I dont have the /var/spool/authdaemon directory, should i have that?
