What is wrong with my configuration, and what must I change to make

this

work?

Your configuration looks fine, and the above Exchange between outlook and courier esmtpd is also OK. Your auth config indicates that you are using userdb. Is the user "brouwers" correctly defined in the userdb, with the right password?

Yes. I reset it with: userdbpw | userdb brouwers set systempw

Just to make sure, did you run "makeuserdb" after the change?

Yes. Even restarted courier after makeuserdb.

I'm using courier 0.37.3. Are there any know problems in this area? How can I decode the AUTH LOGIN above?

The other possibility is that you're using hosteddomains, and in that case, each email account needs to be entered with the domain, eg "brou@knowmadic.com" instead of just "brouwers".

Nope. just locals.

Here's what I get when I start courier (using the init script from the docs) [root@mailbox etc]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/courier start Starting Courier mail server: courierfilter authdaemond courierldapaliasd courierd esmtpd esmtpd-msa imapd-ssl

Does that provide any clues?

Thanks for pointer on how to decode the password.

I've tested the password using the authtest program (from the authlib dir of the sources) [root@mailbox authlib]# ./authtest brouwers Authenticated: module authdaemon Home directory: /home/virtmail/brouwers UID/GID: 503/503 AUTHADDR=brouwers AUTHFULLNAME=<none> [root@mailbox authlib]# ./authtest brouwers brouwers Authenticated: module authdaemon Home directory: /home/virtmail/brouwers UID/GID: 503/503 AUTHADDR=brouwers AUTHFULLNAME=<none>

It authenticates fine checking IMAP-SSL, but no good for esmtp-ssl.

Thanks, Bill
