header snipped

Hello,

I changed in etc/imapd and etc/imapd-ssl the ADDRESS=my address and changed the AUTHMODULES= to authvmailmgr. I copied authvmailmgr to libexec/authlib/. I start courier using libexec/imapd.rc start ps waux reports courier running on port 143,but i can't telnet to port 143 the connection is refused.

"connection refused" means that nothing is listening on the port you tried to connect to. The "ps" program, of course, only tells you that a process is running; it doesn't *really* tell you what port(s) the program is listening on. The command "netstat -a" will list all tcp port in use, including servers listening for connections.

root@mail-srv2:/ > netstat -a | grep imap tcp 0 0 ::ffff:62.159.42.1:imap *:* LISTEN unix 0 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 98253 /usr/lib/courier-imap/var/authdaemon/socket.tmp

I suspect that you set imapd to listen on a specific IP address, then tried to connect to localhost rather than the IP address it's listening on.

root@mail-srv2:/ > telnet 62.159.42.180 143 Trying 62.159.42.180... Connected to 62.159.42.180. Escape character is '^]'. Connection closed by foreign host.

That means the imap daemon is accepting the connection. But refuses immediatly.

snip

If you want imapd to listen on all interfaces instead of just one, try specifying 0.0.0.0 as the address it should listen on.

I tried to specify 0.0.0.0 but it is still not working.

I also tried the original authmodules and it is not working. I tried to connect to the SSL port after creating a cert and starting daemon, same problem. I have no clue what could be wrong in the setup.

Thanks for your help.

regards, Holger Go?mann
