Hi Gordon

Yes, Courier-Imap is compiled with mysql support. I tested this by running authentication from the mysql table, and it authenticates fine.

I've downloaded the FAMD RPMs and have installed those.

However, when I do a locate (after running updatedb) for fam, the system doesn't return me anything, so I can't see where I'm meant to start the service from.

I have portmap turned on from init.d, so that's all right.

I'm just about to download and install gamin now, to see if that helps.

courier-imap, not exim.

The only change I've done is compiled Exim with mysql support and use Courier-Imap to authenticate from mysql.

Did you also recompile courier-imap for mysql support?

A few solutions (like turning on fam and famd) didn't work, but I never previously needed these.

Unless you have gamin installed for FAM, you need to also turn on portmap.
