oops..should have stated versions at a minimum here.. sorry .. its geting late, and I havent been getting too much sleep lately trying to get the dang system operationsl

qmail 1.03 courier 1.43 (installed by someone else as I was having a LOT of probs getting it to compile and install) vpopmail 5.2

also, the courier-imap imapd file has had references to authdaemon removed, and it is now only having this in the auth section

authmodulelist="authvchkpw" I am still a bit dubious bout this, as there ISNT a authvchkpw in that directory, nor was I able to locate one, sooo (I altered that line under advice.. and I KNOW I dont know much .. but learning)

Thanks again

Hi,

I'm cross posting this as I'm not too sure where my problem lies.

The situation is as follows, I have a Linux 7.2 machine, with qmail, courier-imap1.43, and vpopmail installed (vpopmail to handle virtual domain/users, and auth to a mysql database),

Qmail appears to be working fine, as is its pop module, with and without vpopmail. Telnet to the POP port is succesful, as is receiving mail from a client (sending is another matter but I will work on relaying after I get this sorted out)

IMAP and courier however are another matter. When I try to telnet to the IMAP port from the local server, courier is listening, but authentication is not taking place - details below

[root@alpha root]# telnet 0 143 Trying 0.0.0.0... Connected to 0. Escape character is '^]'. * OK Courier-IMAP ready. Copyright 1998-2002 Double Precision, Inc. See COPYING for distribution information. login dav@kobo.biz somepassword login NO Error in IMAP command received by server.

This then terminates the telnet

When I try and login via an IMAP client it also refuses the connection with a varying number of errors ranging from 'unexpectedly terminated the conection' to 'unable to authenticae user, check your username/password'

When I look in the system logs I get the following (time is approximately similar to telnet and remote attempts Mar 11 14:47:42 alpha imapd: Connection, ip=[::ffff:210.10.246.76] Mar 11 14:47:43 alpha imapd: starttls: /usr/lib/courier-imap/share/imapd.pem: error:02001002:system library:fopen:No such file or directory Mar 11 14:50:09 alpha imapd: Connection, ip=[::ffff:210.10.246.76] Mar 11 14:50:10 alpha imapd: starttls: /usr/lib/courier-imap/share/imapd.pem: error:02001002:system library:fopen:No such file or directory Mar 11 14:51:03 alpha imapd: Connection, ip=[::ffff:210.10.246.76] Mar 11 14:51:04 alpha imapd: starttls: /usr/lib/courier-imap/share/imapd.pem: error:02001002:system library:fopen:No such file or directory Mar 11 15:36:45 alpha imapd: Connection, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1] Mar 11 16:01:50 alpha imapd: Connection, ip=[::ffff:64.239.184.10] Mar 11 19:47:18 alpha imapd: Connection, ip=[::ffff:210.10.246.122] Mar 11 19:47:19 alpha imapd: /usr/lib/courier-imap/libexec/authlib/authvchkpw: No such file or directory Mar 11 19:48:21 alpha imapd: Connection, ip=[::ffff:210.10.246.122] Mar 11 19:48:22 alpha imapd: /usr/lib/courier-imap/libexec/authlib/authvchkpw: No such file or directory Mar 11 19:48:40 alpha imapd: Connection, ip=[::ffff:210.10.246.122] Mar 11 19:48:40 alpha imapd: /usr/lib/courier-imap/libexec/authlib/authvchkpw: No such file or directory Mar 11 20:09:22 alpha imapd: Connection, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1] Mar 11 20:10:49 alpha imapd: Connection, ip=[::ffff:210.10.246.122] Mar 11 20:10:50 alpha imapd: /usr/lib/courier-imap/libexec/authlib/authvchkpw: No such file or directory

I am at a total loss what the heck is going on, if any other info would be helpful, let me know and I will post what I can find. I am gradually getting ther and learning (or re-learning) bout NIX and these types of systems, but from all practical standpoints I am a newbie totally, so I hope someone can assist

Thanks for your time
