Thank you. Your suggestion solved the problem of not being able to connect virtual users.

Now, I may have a related issue. I can connect with IMAP and IMAP-SSL, but cannot create folders other than as subdirectories of INBOX. This is with Netscape 7.1 as a mail client. The client is (was already) configured with ".INBOX" and ".shared". I'm seeing no error messages in syslog, only:

"The current command did not succeed. The mail server responded: Invalid mailbox name."

when trying to create a folder.

Pointers? Thanks. -john

I'm having problems setting up a virtual mail host (Debian, Courier 0.44.2 built from source.)

I see in my mail.info log:

Jan 29 09:58:44 hermes courierd: id=00028561.401949D4.000050BC,from=<cte@unifiedsignal.com>,addr=<tes@unifiedsignal.com>:

550 User unknown.

In userdb I have:

courier uid=110|gid=110|home=/var/courier|shell=/bin/false|systempw=!|gecos=Courier

110= courier tes@unifiedsignal.com home=/var/courier/domains/unifiedsignal.com/test1/|systempw=E3CO6ZCU5t3TY|gid=110|uid=110

Any suggestions for resolution?

Either move unifiedsignal.com from locals to hosteddomains, or rename the userdb entry accordingly.

See the courier(8) man page for the description of the difference between the locals and the hosteddomains files, and the resulting implications.
